Why is an ANNUAL EYE EXAM important?

It is recommended that patients have their eyes examined ANNUALLY (ONCE EVERY YEAR) so that changes in their prescription can be detected and updated so they can continue to see clearly and comfortably.

More importantly, the eyes should be examined every year so the doctor can evaluate the health of the eyes and detect any health problems at the earliest stages possible and it is these early detections that allow for earlier treatment which leads to better prognosis.

If you look below at the photos of the inside of the eyes which have bleeding, the problem is that these patients do not feel any pain and the only thing that they notice is a blur in their vision and an eventual loss of their vision.  This is why it is so IMPORTANT that everyone gets their eyes examined annually so that such problems can be detected early enough and treatment can be started soon enough that the results of the treatment is a positive one and the vision is saved.

PREVENTATIVE CARE is a crucial element in maintaining your overall health, not just the health of your eyes.
