It’s recommended that you have your eyes examined every 2 years, but do you know why? Most people assume it’s just a visual acuity test, when in actuality it’s much more than that!
Eye Examinations should be treated like a routine check-up from your family doctor.
Your Optometrist is checking not only your visual acuity but also the full health of your eyes, inside and out! Having your eyes checked regularly can help your eye doctor to catch early signs of glaucoma and cataracts, both leading causes of blindness worldwide. With regular checkups you be proactive about your health and keep your eyes in their best possible shape!
