Eye Examination

An eye test could add years to your sight

The process of an eye test is very simple and thorough. We recommend you have your eyes checked by a specialist at least every 2 years, or more frequently if recommended by your optician. The eye examination not only provides an accurate assessment of your ability to see, but also gauges the general health of your eyes. The vision exam can result in early identification of other eye problems such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

For children, routine comprehensive screenings starting at 6 months of age can aid in on-pace learning and development. Adults, on the other hand, should have comprehensive eye exams to keep prescriptions for eyeglasses and contact lenses current. Regular screenings also aid in early detection of eye health issues, as well as other chronic systemic diseases, such as diabetes and high blood pressure.


Eye exam frequency

While everyone should have regular eye exams, the frequency depends on two factors: patient age and risk. The American Optometric Association recommends the following eye exam guidelines for no-risk pediatric and adult patients:

PRESBYOPIA

Problem: Another form of Hyperopia is Presbyopia, which affects individuals after or near 40- years of age. This is because age related loss of “accommodation” due to decreased elasticity of the crystalline lens surface (capsule). Persons with presbyopia have difficulty in reading/writing and doing near work. This refractive error is corrected by adding a "+" lens to the current refractive correction the person is wearing.
