Why You Should Regularly Get an Eye Exam

A visit to an eye specialist is not always about getting a new pair of glasses or contact lenses. In fact, even if you have excellent vision and your eye health seems fine, you should still make regular appointments at your trusted eye clinic, particularly for eye exams.

Here are the top reasons why you should get regular eye exams.

To Detect Subtle Changes in Vision

Many eye conditions develop gradually, so you may not recognize any changes that may have been happening to your vision or eyes over a period of months or years. It’s likely that you’re only going to notice the problem once it has already become potentially irreversible. With regular eye exams, your optometrist can spot issues or deficiencies that you alone may not be able to notice.

To Catch Eye Conditions Early

Several eye conditions can be reversed, treated or maintained if they are diagnosed early by eye doctors. Fortunately, regular eye exams can equip you with up-to-date information regarding your eye health. These also give you the chance to care for your eyes better and avoid more serious eye problems.

To Reveal Developmental Issues

In the case of children, an eye exam can detect any developmental issues and eye problems that could contribute to learning difficulties. Sometimes, the eye does not develop properly, and this can become a permanent condition if treatment is not given while the person is still young. That said, it’s important for kids to have regular eye exams to ensure their eyes are developing correctly.
