Eye Care for Everyone
Once your eyesight becomes damaged, you’ll likely be unable to reverse the damage. That’s why you need to take care of your eyes and your vision by going for routine eye exams, as per the American Optometric Association (AOA) recommendations.
Even if you don’t wear glasses or contacts, you still need to get your eyes checked regularly to keep up with any vision changes and potential eye problems. Additionally, if you’re over 40, we recommend annual eye exams to screen for common age-related problems such as presbyopia, cataracts, and macular degeneration. People over 60 are at a higher risk for these diseases, making annual checkups even more essential.
People with health conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure may be asked to go for more frequent eye exams because these illnesses can cause eye complications.
Trust us to detect, diagnose and treat eye problems promptly so you enjoy clear vision and eye health for years to come.
