Routine eye exams are an important part of your preventive health care plan. The American Optometric Association recommends children receive their first comprehensive eye exam at six months old, followed up by an exam at three years of age, and a third eye exam should happen before the child enters kindergarten or first grade. Good vision is a critical factor in early learning for children.
As we age, our eyes age with us, and need continuous care in order to diagnose, treat, and in some cases, prevent age-related diseases. Some of the most common ocular diseases include glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, or damage to the retina.
There are also several medical issues that have an impact on the health of your eyes. These include diabetes, high blood pressure, and rheumatoid arthritis. There are even several medications that can affect your vision. If anyone in your family is currently facing one of these health conditions, it is important to schedule regular eye exams to ensure their vision isn’t being affected.
Even though you may not notice active changes in your vision, yearly eye exams are important if you want to maintain the health of your eyes. The eye care specialists at Vision Square Eyecare are proud to protect your eyesight and help you prevent eye diseases in Calabash, NC.
