Why Eye Exams Are Important

Even if you think your vision is “normal,” it’s still important to have regular eye exams. Eye exams can help determine your lens prescription as well as detect a range of eye health problems that may develop without initial symptoms.

Some of these concerns may naturally occur with age, but others may develop based on your overall health quality, genetics and lifestyle.

We recommend having an eye exam at least once every year so we can monitor your eye health and detect issues before they affect your vision.

By the end of the exam, you’ll have a clear understanding of your eyes and what you can do to support them.

Discussing Your Eye Health History

We’ll ensure your health history is current and correct for the first part of your eye exam. Please feel free to ask questions or stress concerns during this conversation, as it will help us orient the exam to better suit your needs.

Determining Your Lens Prescription

After our initial discussion, we’ll then determine your lens prescription. Refractive errors like nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism are common in adults, but they may worsen as you age.

We can correct these concerns with both glasses or contact lenses. In some cases, we may recommend laser eye surgery.

Detecting Eye Health Concerns

Once we determine your lens prescription, we’ll use an array of diagnostic technologies to examine your eyes and look for potential concerns. Many eye diseases and conditions can develop without initial symptoms, but fortunately we can detect these issues with the help of advanced medical instruments like:

Let’s take a quick look at some eye health and vision concerns patients may develop throughout life.

Presbyopia

Presbyopia is an eye condition that typically develops in adults 40 years or older. It occurs when the crystalline lens in your eye loses its ability to focus, making it especially hard to see up close.

Multifocal eyeglasses and contact lenses are among the most common strategies for addressing this issue.

Cataracts

Cataracts develop with age, affecting the clarity of your crystalline lens. As they develop, your lens becomes hazy, milky and cloudy, eventually impairing your vision.

We can prescribe contacts and eyeglasses to help address early cataract-related vision problems, but the only way to restore your vision is by having cataract surgery.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the most common eye diseases patients can develop as they get older. AMD is one of the leading causes of vision loss in older adults and can lead to permanent vision loss if it isn’t addressed.

AMD affects your macula, the centremost part of your retina responsible for providing your central vision. We can detect this issue by examining your macula during an eye exam with the help of diagnostic technology like the AdaptDx.
