The Importance of Regular Eye Exams

Though we all want to look our best, what’s the point if we can’t see our best too?

Over 3.4 million Americans over the age of 40 are either visually impaired or legally blind. Unfortunately, without proper treatment, most eye diseases and conditions will only worsen over time. This makes the early detection and management of visual issues essential.

Most common eye diseases don’t display symptoms or warning signs until permanent vision loss has already occured. Glaucoma, AMD, and diabetic eye disease are prime examples: It’s only in the later stages of these diseases that you may realize something is wrong.

As such, it’s critical to be proactive about the health of our eyes as we age. Optical Illusions uses specialized equipment, traditional methodology, and contemporary technology to ensure that your eyes are protected.

When Should You Have Your Eyes Examined?

You should always follow the recommendations of your optometrist when it comes to your specific eye care schedule.

Our optometrists recommend that you have a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years, depending on your age, risk factors, and whether you currently wear eyeglasses or contact lenses. Children especially need annual eye exams to detect vision problems that may interfere with learning and overall development.

We tailor medical office visits recommendations and follow-up schedules based on each of your individual patient needs.
