The Importance of Eye Exams


 
Health
We all know how important it is to get your eyes tested for prescription glasses but many people do not understand how important a comprehensive eye exam is for their over-all vision health. Here are a few reasons to schedule your next eye exam with an ophthalmologist.

You may not always know when you need a new prescription for your eyeglasses but it’s common knowledge that you need to have your eyes screened every one to two years just in case. Many of us are unaware that in addition to having our eyes screened, we also need to have our eyes examined by an ophthalmologist. Your eye doctor does more than just determine your prescription for glasses. During a comprehensive eye exam, your eyes are checked for common vision diseases as well as assessed for how well your eyes work together because your eyes are an indicator for your overall health.

Eye exams are an important part of your overall health maintenance. We often think that only children should have their eyes examined every year but it’s important to remember that adults should also have their vision examined every one to two years by an ophthalmologist in order to check for the early signs of eye disease as well as for your regular prescription check. Children’s eye exams play a vital role in ensuring normal visual development and academic achievement for kids. Since vision is closely linked to the learning process, children with undiagnosed or undetected vision problems usually have problems with their schoolwork. Children are usually oblivious to “normal” vision, so it’s not common for a child to complain about vision problems. If your child is performing poorly at school, he or she may be due for a comprehensive eye exam but consider choosing a pediatric ophthalmologist.

Your doctor will check for a few things during a comprehensive eye exam, most importantly he or she will check for any visual problems or diseases that may cause vision loss. Your ophthalmologist will likely look for any refractive errors which are easily corrected with prescription glasses or refractive surgery; focusing problems that may have developed when you were a child; and eye diseases like glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy.

Your optometrist is usually unable to perform most of the tests listed above. Generally, when getting an eye exam with an optometrist, you are actually receiving an eye screening. The screenings are a brief vision test given by a nurse or another health-care provider. When you go to renew your license at the local DMV, they give you a vision screening to make sure there are not significant changes in the way you see. A vision screening is not a replacement for a comprehensive eye exam! Your local optometrist or ophthalmologist are the only trained physicians that can administer a comprehensive eye exam - your family physician or pediatrician is not fully trained and may miss something vital.

Should your eye doctor find any visual condition or disease - do not panic. Conditions like refractive errors are easily treatable with a new prescription glasses - just steer clear of cheap eyeglasses. Other conditions may be corrected with vision strengthening exercises. If you are diagnosed with an optical disease, your ophthalmologist will put you on a path that may cure or treat it. It’s important to take your doctor’s diagnosis and advice seriously - failure to do so may result in total blindness. For your visual health, see an ophthalmologist every year for an exam.
