Regular Eye Exams
Receiving regular
eye exams, even in the absence of problems, is the key
to good vision. We encourage a professional eye examination at
least every two years to age 64, then annually from age 65.
Diabetics are recommended to have a dilated eye examination performed
annually.
Taking the time
for preventive eye exams can lead to early detection and treatment,
and possibly prevent vision loss. It is important to notify
your physician, optometrist or ophthalmologist of any changes
in your vision or eyes, such as:
- Double vision
- Distorted or wavy lines and
edges
- A dark spot at the center
of viewing
- Difficulty focusing on near
or distant objects
- Excessive tearing
- Dry eyes with itching or burning
- Inflammation, drainage and/or
redness of the eye or eyelid
- Pain in one or both eyes
- Decreased night vision
- Sudden vision loss
- Sudden hazy or blurred vision
- Flashes of light or black
spots
- Halos or rainbows around light
- Loss of side vision
We
look forward to hearing from you.
