Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is the purpose of a routine eye exam?

    A routine eye exam checks your vision and overall eye health, potentially detecting issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and conditions such as glaucoma or cataracts. It can also identify systemic health problems like diabetes. Regular exams can provide early detection and management of potential vision issues.

  • What are the symptoms of glaucoma, and how is it detected?

    Glaucoma often has no early symptoms but can cause peripheral vision loss, blurred vision, or halos around lights. It’s detected through eye pressure tests, optic nerve imaging, and visual field assessments. Early detection through regular exams is essential to prevent vision loss.

  • How often should I have my eyes checked?

    Most people should have an eye exam every one to two years. Children, older adults, or those with existing conditions like diabetes or glaucoma may need more frequent check-ups to monitor and manage eye health.

Why Regular Optometrist Visits Matter

Your eyes work hard every day, adapting to screens, sunlight, and everything in between, often without you noticing. Visiting an optometrist regularly can help you stay ahead of potential issues, from subtle changes in your prescription to the early signs of more serious conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration.


Routine check-ups also provide peace of mind, knowing your vision is being monitored by trained optomoetrists who care about your long-term eye health.
