See Clearly with Routine Vision Examinations
At The Vision Development Team, we believe that clear, comfortable vision is essential for a happy and productive life. Routine eye exams are much more than just checking if you need glasses or contacts; they are an important part of maintaining your overall health. Our comprehensive vision examinations assess your eye health and visual function, helping you see your best at every age.
What to Expect During Your Eye Exam:
- Medical History Review: We’ll discuss your overall health, any existing eye conditions, and family history of eye disease.
- Visual Acuity Test: This classic eye chart test measures how clearly you see at various distances.
- Refraction Assessment: We determine your eyeglass or contact lens prescription for optimal vision correction.
- Eye Muscle Evaluation: We’ll check how well your eyes work together to ensure proper alignment and coordination.
- Peripheral Vision Test: This assesses your ability to see objects outside of your direct line of sight.
- Eye Health Examination: Using advanced technology, we’ll examine the internal and external structures of your eyes to detect any signs of eye disease such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and more.
Why Are Routine Eye Exams Important?
- Early Detection of Eye Disease: Many eye diseases have no noticeable symptoms in their early stages. Routine exams allow for early detection and treatment, which can prevent vision loss.
- Monitor Existing Eye Conditions: If you have an existing eye condition like glaucoma or diabetes, regular exams are crucial for monitoring its progression and adjusting treatment as needed.
- Optimal Visual Performance: Ensure you’re seeing your best for daily tasks like reading, driving, and computer use.
- Overall Health Assessment: Eye exams can sometimes reveal signs of underlying health problems like high blood pressure or diabetes.
Who Needs a Routine Eye Exam?
Everyone! The frequency of eye exams depends on your age, health, and risk factors. In general, we recommend the following:
- Children: First eye exam by 6 months of age, then again at age 3, and before starting school.
- Adults: A comprehensive eye exam every 1-2 years.
- Seniors: A comprehensive eye exam every year.
