Comprehensive Eye Exams
Why It Is Important and What To Expect
Did you know some eye diseases such as glaucoma have no symptoms? Prioritizing your eye health is more crucial than ever.
Read on to learn why comprehensive eye exams are necessary, what they involve, and how often you should schedule them for optimal eye health.
Why is it important to have a comprehensive eye exam regularly?
Keeping an eye on your vision requires different care at different stages of life. Even when we are young, we should do a comprehensive eye check-up regularly as eye problems can be present at any age.
A comprehensive eye exam is much more than a quick vision check. It involves an in-depth evaluation of your eyes’ health and can help uncover serious conditions like cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.
Having a regular eye check-up gives you the best chance to diagnose any underlying eye diseases.
What is the difference between a vision screening and an eye exam?
Vision screenings are basic eye tests to help recognize any issues with your vision, but it does not test for any underlying eye diseases. Usually, it checks for basic refractive errors such as myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia.
A comprehensive eye exam performed by an optometrist or ophthalmologist involves a thorough examination of all aspects of your vision. Your eye doctor will be able to diagnose visual health issues and ocular conditions that are otherwise unable to be determined by vision screening.
