How often should I get my eyes examined?
We recommend that everyone come in for a Comprehensive Eye Exam every year. This ensures good ocular health and that we catch a problem while it's still a small one. This is especially important if you are a contact lens wearer. You have an increased risk of serious complications that may not be evident until examined. Don't be fooled into thinking your eyes are healthy just because you think you're seeing clearly. Your eyes are also a good source of information regarding your overall systemic health. Diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, M.S., high cholesterol, and many others frequently show up in the eyes, and regular eye exams can help to monitor or detect these conditions. Ask yourself this . . . would you rather lose your teeth, or your vision? Don't take your vision for granted! You should have your eyes examined every year.
