When was the last time you had an eye exam? Eye examinations often fall to the bottom of our to-do lists, but they’re crucial in maintaining not just our vision but our overall health. At Frames Opticians, we believe in the power of proactive eye care, which is why we offer comprehensive eye examinations to ensure your eyes are in top shape and to address any issues early on.
What is an Eye Examination?
An eye examination is a series of tests conducted to evaluate your vision and detect potential eye conditions. But it’s more than just getting your glasses prescription right. It includes a full assessment of your eye health using advanced techniques and tools to identify problems such as glaucoma, cataracts, or macular degeneration. Regular check-ups can also help reveal health conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
At Frames Opticians, our optometrists use cutting-edge technology to provide a personalised and thorough check-up, tailor-made for your needs.
Why Are Regular Eye Examinations Important?
Your eyes are your windows to the world, but their health can often be overlooked. Here’s why scheduling your next eye examination should be a priority:
● Detect Problems Early
Many eye conditions develop gradually and can go unnoticed until it’s too late. Regular check-ups help catch these issues early, making treatment more effective.
● Monitor Overall Health
Eye health is often linked to general health. Conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure can first be detected during an eye examination. Early diagnoses can significantly improve long-term outcomes.
● Preserve Vision
If you’ve been squinting at your computer screen or struggling with night driving, it may be time to revisit your prescription. Regular exams ensure you always have the right lenses for clear and comfortable vision.
● Optimise Quality of Life
Good vision is essential to enjoying everyday activities and maintaining independence. Great eye health equals great life experiences.
How Often Should You Get an Eye Exam?
- For adults between 18-60 years old, a check-up every two years is generally recommended.
- For seniors, or those with a history of eye problems, annual examinations are often advised.
- Children should have their eyes examined as early as six months old and regularly throughout their school years.
