Preventive Care

Eye doctors perform various tests to thoroughly examine your eye and gain perspective on your overall health. Some parts of the exam are only to look at your vision, while other tests can actually determine serious health conditions; therefore, it is recommended to see your eye care provider once year, unless otherwise directed.

The Importance of Vision Health

Getting Started Early

Eye exams are an important element to a child’s well-being. The recommended age to see a vision provider is by the age of one. Because children learn visually, undiagnosed eye problems can lead to behavioral and performance problems.  One in four school-aged children have a vision problem that interferes with learning in some way. The sooner children start seeing an eye expert, the sooner they can receive proper vision correction or therapy if needed. It’s important to know, that standard school vision screenings do not provide the same services that a comprehensive eye exam does.
