When Was Your Last Eye Exam?
Most adults skip eye exams until something goes wrong. By then, conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or macular degeneration have often progressed silently for years — quietly stealing your vision before you notice.
A comprehensive eye exam doesn't just check your vision. It can detect early signs of serious systemic and ocular conditions, often before any symptoms appear.
- Glaucoma testing: Intraocular pressure measurement and optic nerve head assessment
- Diabetes and high blood pressure
- Macular degeneration
- Cataracts
