The Importance Of Annual Eye Exams

By Theodore Rosenberg O.d.


An annual eye exam is a good idea. Having detailed eye exams are relatively important to evaluate your eye sight, and not as simple as they may seem. A comprehensive eye exam evaluates other factors such as neurological function, eye stress, eye muscle coordination and health and wellness of the external and interior eye structures.

You might think that eye exams are only for people with noticeable vision problems who might need a first time or new eyeglass prescription, but that is not always the case. Eye exams can also show early signs of glaucoma, diabetes, strabismus (crossed eyes), high blood pressure and arthritis. By catching this early you can avoid having irreversible eye damage.

Everybody must see the eye doctor frequently. An excellent guideline to adhere to is to have your eyes checked regularly till you are 40 and then every two years thereafter. Adults that have no family history of eye disease and generally have great vision, an eye exam every a couple of years is recommended if the patient is under the age of forty.

In this generation the use of reading from electrical devices on a regular basis has raised our visual need significantly.You might want to plan your next eye exam sooner if you begin having eye strain while using your mobile phone or surfing the web. Obtaining an eye exam annually is crucial if you are wearing contact lenses on a regular basis.

Kids must have their vision evaluated as soon as they start going to school and then every year or so after. Even if you have not a problem with your eyes, it is very important to see an eye examination doctor once a year after the age of 65, to rule out eye problems.

Remember to put your eye exam on your yearly calendar so that you don't forget.
