Glasses to show the Importance of Yearly Routine Eye Exams

The Importance of Yearly Routine Eye Exams

Comprehensive regular eye exams with dilation are vital for your overall health and well-being. You may not think of scheduling an eye exam unless you are having vision problems or irritating symptoms, but a yearly eye exam with the expert eye doctors at Tyson Eye can help protect your vision and prevent eye health problems in the future. Don’t underestimate the importance of healthy vision.

Early Detection of Eye Diseases

Many eye diseases, such as glaucoma and macular degeneration, may not have any symptoms until you start experiencing vision loss. Unfortunately, once you have lost vision to those diseases, it cannot be restored. Yearly eye exams allow doctors to detect a number of eye diseases early, before too much damage is done to your precious sight.

Early Treatment to Prevent Vision Loss

If an eye disease or issue is discovered during an eye exam, your doctor may be able to offer different treatment options to help relieve your symptoms and preserve your vision. Getting treatment for common conditions like dry eye or cataracts can not only help you see clearer, but also greatly improve your quality of life.

Update Prescriptions for Better Vision

If it has been several years since your last eye exam, you’re probably wearing the wrong glasses or contact lens prescription. Having the wrong prescription, or no prescription when you need one, can not only impact your vision, but also cause headaches, eye strain, and fatigue. Your vision changes as you age, so don’t let a year go by without getting your eyes checked.

Improve Safety & Overall Health

You may think that poor vision is primarily an annoyance, such as not being able to read a menu at a restaurant, but not being able to see clearly increases your risk of falling, being in a car accident, or injuring yourself. Your eyesight may worsen so gradually that you don’t even notice it and that’s why it’s important to see your eye doctor regularly.
