We get it, regular check ups and appointment aren't exactly the definition of fun, are they?! But getting your body and eyes regularly seen to is one of the best things you can do for your short and long term health. In today's blog, we'll explore why getting regular eye exams is an essential part of your healthcare to make you and your family happier and healthier.
Here are a few reasons why regular eye exams are so important –
Monitoring general eye health
Understanding eye health requires an optometrist to conduct a comprehensive eye exam. In this eye exam, your healthcare professional will perform tests to identify any underlying issues, address symptoms and arrange glasses or contacts if you need them. It's recommended that people with healthy eyes have an eye appointment at least once a year. If you have any existing issues or wear prescription glasses or contacts, your optometrist will advise you to your appointment schedule, which will be at least once a year.
Early detection of eye conditions and diseases
Regular eye exams are essential for identifying the early stages of any eye conditions or diseases. Many eye conditions are easily treated if detected in their early stages. Therefore early detection avoids irreversible damage to your eyes before it happens.
Prescription updates
Our eyes are changing all of the time due to lifestyle and age factors. If you wear glasses or contacts, it's very likely that your prescription will change may times over the course of your life. It's important to regularly have your vision checked so that your prescription is always up to date and that you're getting the most from you vision aids.
