Regular Eye Care: Key to Quality Vision
When you have good vision, scheduling an eye exam is probably far down on your to-do list. If you want to preserve that vision, however, you’ll make eye health a priority. Vision changes over the years. Routine eye exams from Kozlovsky Delay & Winter Eye Consultant, LLC, San Antonio, will enable us to detect changes in your vision, so they can be corrected right away. Children, in particular, need regular pediatric eye care to ensure their vision is developing as it should. Regular eye checkups are important for multiple reasons to include:
Corrects Bad Vision
Regular checkups help us detect vision problems in their early stages when they’re easier to treat. Refractive errors will show up in your annual eye exam so your optometrist can take measures to correct your vision. Poor vision can cause accidents when you’re driving, slip and falls at home and injuries on the field when your kids play sports. A pediatric eye exam will show if your children are nearsighted, farsighted or have astigmatism. These problems can then be corrected with prescription eyeglasses or contact lens.
Prevents Vision Loss
Routine eye checkups will also reveal whether any member of your family has early signs of eye diseases that can cause permanent damage to your sight. As you grow older, you’re more susceptible to eye conditions and diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration. Detected early enough, these diseases can be treated to eliminate or slow down their adverse effects on your vision.
Protects Your Overall Health
Sometimes an eye exam will reveal visual changes due to health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure that you were unaware you had. Your San Antonio eye doctor may recommend you get a medical checkup to test for these conditions. The sooner these health issues are diagnosed, the sooner you can get treatment. Left unchecked, these problems could escalate into major health issues that require extensive treatment.
