You don’t wear glasses or contacts and haven’t had any problems with your eyes. So, why would you need to go to the eye doctor every year? Like most people you’d be surprised to know that there is more to an eye exam than just checking your vision. Here are three reasons why you should visit your eye doctor every year.
1. Early Signs of Chronic Diseases like Diabetes
Your eyes reveal a lot about your overall wellness. An eye exam can detect early signs of serious health conditions such as diabetes and hypertension. Regular eye exams are critical because what may seem like a vision-related problem might be an indication of a broader health issue.
2. Some Eye Diseases Are Symptom-Free
What do glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration all have in common? All these conditions share a common characteristic—no early warning signs. Getting an annual eye exam can help detect health conditions before they progress and may help preserve your vision.
3. Your Vision Might Not Be as Clear as You Think
You may think your vision is clear, but many people are often surprised to discover they aren’t seeing as well as they thought they were. You may not notice that your vision changed, but an eye exam can reveal if you need glasses or contacts – or an update to your current prescription to ensure you’re seeing as clearly as possible.
