What is a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
A comprehensive eye exam is so much more than just checking if you need glasses. While determining your prescription is a key component, a comprehensive exam also assesses the overall health of your eyes.
During an eye exam at Eyeworks Optical, Dr. Karen Rozycki will thoroughly evaluate your vision and check for signs of eye diseases or conditions. This proactive approach allows us to detect any potential problems early, helping maintain your vision and eye health for years.
The Benefits of a Comprehensive Eye Exam
Eye exams are crucial for detecting various vision and health issues. Many eye conditions, like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts, develop slowly and may not present symptoms until damage has occurred. Regular eye exams allow us to identify these conditions early when treatment can be most effective.
In addition to eye-specific issues, a comprehensive eye exam can detect signs of systemic health problems such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and even certain neurological conditions. We prioritize a complete evaluation of your eye health to ensure you are seeing your best while avoiding any potential problems.
Recommended Frequency for Eye Exams
The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends that adults get a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years, depending on their age, risk factors, and visual needs.
Children should have their first comprehensive eye exam at six months, again at age three, and before they start school. After that, annual eye exams are recommended to ensure their vision is developing properly.
For seniors and patients with known eye conditions, more frequent visits may be necessary to monitor changes and adjust treatment as needed. We encourage you to keep up with these guidelines to safeguard your family’s vision health.
