Preventative measures provide healthy results.

A routine eye examination is a series of tests performed by your optometrist or ophthalmologist to detect if your eyes are in good health. The wide variety of routine procedures are designed as a preventative measure to determine if you’re seeing to the best of your ability and not developing eye complications.

Young adults with healthy vision should have a routine eye exam every two years to assure you’re maintaining good eye health. An annual eye exam is recommended for anyone previously diagnosed with blurred vision or if you have a history of eye diseases since disorders may be hereditary.

Initially, determining eye disorders are based on the symptoms you are experiencing and your eyes’ physical appearance, confirming the final diagnosis through a more extensive eye examination. As we get older, the risk of eye complications are more prevalent so having a yearly eye exam is extremely important if you are 50 years or older, to assess the preservation of your vision.

In general, routine eye examinations are highly recommended not only to catch crucial early detection of diseases but also to educate you on the variety of options to correct your eyesight. Taking your own unique variables into consideration, the routine eye exam assists in giving you the most optimal outcome, improving your overall quality of life.
