Comprehensive Eye Exams
Seeing clearly is a big part of living a happy and healthy life. That's why we recommend regular eye exams for everyone in the family. These exams go beyond simply checking your prescription — they help us ensure your eyes function well and contribute to your overall health. Discover the difference a visit to our practice in Kingswood can make for your family's vision.
Why Do You Need Regular Eye Exams?
Regular eye exams are crucial for detecting vision problems and eye diseases early, often before any symptoms are noticeable. Many eye conditions, like glaucoma and macular degeneration, can progress without warning signs, making early detection essential for effective treatment.
Additionally, eye exams can reveal underlying health issues like diabetes and high blood pressure, impacting your eye health.
The Benefits of Routine Exams
Comprehensive eye exams provide numerous benefits, including:
- Early Detection of Eye Diseases: Identifying conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration at an early stage
- Vision Correction: Ensuring your prescription is up-to-date for optimal vision
- Overall Health Insight: Detecting signs of systemic health problems like diabetes and hypertension
- Prevention: Taking proactive steps to protect your vision and prevent future eye issues
Eye Exam Frequency by Age
The frequency of eye exams depends on your age, risk factors and specific needs:
- Children (3 to 5): Paediatric eye exam to detect early vision problems
- School-age children (6 to 18): Every one to two years to ensure proper vision development and school performance
- Adults (19 to 40): Every two years for those without vision problems. More frequent exams if you wear glasses or contact lenses
- Adults (41 to 60): Every one to two years, as age-related vision problems and eye conditions become more common
- Seniors (61+): Annually, to monitor for age-related eye diseases
