The Importance of Ongoing Eye Care

Your eyes are an integral part of your overall health. By thoroughly assessing your eyes, we can determine if you need corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses, monitor for signs of ocular disease, and detect over 270 systemic health conditions.

Even if you believe your eyes are in top condition, a comprehensive eye exam can detect early signs of eye disease that could otherwise have no obvious signs or symptoms. Early detection allows for early intervention, helping to prevent vision loss or blindness.

When to Visit Us

We enjoy seeing our patients, and our goal is to help you maintain good vision and healthy eyes throughout your life. Regularly scheduling a comprehensive eye exam is the easiest way to monitor your eyes for any signs of ocular diseases.

Frequency of Eye Exams

For how often you should visit us, the American Optometric Association suggests:

Age 18–64: schedule an eye exam every 2 years
Age 65+: schedule an eye exam every year

Factors That Can Increase the Need for More Frequent Exams

We may recommend more frequent eye exams if you are at risk for eye disease. Factors that put you at a higher risk can include:

Having a family history of eye disease
Performing visually demanding occupations
Experiencing a previous eye injury
Progressing refractive errors
Taking prescriptions with ocular side effects

What You Can Expect During Your Examination

Our thorough exam process is designed to support you with a personalized treatment plan. Our team takes the time to get to know you, gives you time to ask questions, and empowers you with informative answers.

We gather your medical history to get a clear idea of your eye health and potential risk factors.
