Why is a comprehensive eye examination important?
Just like a health screening, a comprehensive eye exam can pick up early eye conditions, especially those that are asymptomatic. Annual comprehensive eye exams are crucial for your vision and overall eye health. These exams go beyond basic vision checks, offering a thorough evaluation of your eyes’ condition.
This painless, thorough check of the front, back and intraocular pressure of your eye can detect for eye diseases, such as glaucoma, cataract, age related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
Who is at risk of eye diseases?
- High myopia (>500 degrees)
- Family history of eye diseases
- Contact lens wearers
- Diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure
- Over 40 years of age
