An annual eye health exam is a necessary part of your overall well-being. Dr. Wilson and his staff will ensure that your eyes are healthy and that you are seeing at your best.
Getting your eyes checked once a year by an optometrist is recommended for maintaining eye health. Here are several reasons why you should get your eyes checked every year by Dr. Wilson at Optical Illusions:
Early Detection of Eye Diseases: Annual eye exams can help detect eye diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy in their early stages. Early detection allows for prompt treatment, which can prevent vision loss or even blindness.
Prescription Updates: Your vision can change over time, and regular eye exams ensure that your eyeglass or contact lens prescriptions are up to date. This helps you see clearly and reduces eye strain, headaches, and fatigue. Many people don’t realize they have a prescription change until their annual eye exam!
Detection of Systemic Health Issues: The eyes can provide valuable insights into your overall health. An eye exam may reveal signs of systemic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and neurological conditions enabling early intervention and management.
Children's Eye Health: Children's eyesight can change rapidly as they grow. Regular pediatric eye exams are crucial for detecting and addressing vision problems early, which can impact their learning and development. Dr. Wilson specializes in slowing the progression in nearsightedness in children.
Digital Eye Strain: In today's digital age, many people spend long hours looking at screens. Regular eye exams can help identify and manage digital eye strain symptoms, such as dry eyes, headaches, and blurred vision. The use of Neurolens can help resolve this issue.
