Your eyes are windows into your overall health. That’s why we also screen for signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and autoimmune disorders.
These screenings enable us to identify early warning signs, sometimes before you or your primary care physician notice any symptoms, and guide you toward proactive treatment.
We recommend that every child have an eye exam by age 6, or upon referral from their school vision screening, pediatrician, concerned relative/guardian, or parent. Common issues may include sitting unusually close to a TV or digital screen, droopy eyelid, or a cross-eyed appearance.
Every adult over age 40 should ideally have an eye exam every 1 to 3 years. More frequent eye exams may be needed, often starting at an even earlier age, if a pre-existing medical or family history exists.
