Eye Exams

According to a March ‘08 survey by the National Eye Institute (NEI), most Americans are not aware of the many health risks that impede vision.  Having an eye exam is especially important if there is a family history of: flashes or floaters, glaucoma, diabetes and/or macular degeneration; since, these conditions may be hereditary.

For everyone...including vision correction patients, clear vision DOESN'T mean one has healthy eyes.  Many eye diseases have NO outward visual symptoms until the condition is advanced. Importantly, most eye diseases and conditions are treatable if detected early and receive proper care. 

Eye exams are crucial at every age.  We recommend that children have a comprehensive eye exam prior to starting kindergarten or earlier if there are signs of a possible problem.  For all others, eye exams are recommended every one or two years, or earlier if an eye condition is present.
