What is the purpose of a comprehensive eye examination?

A comprehensive eye examination serves to evaluate your overall eye health and vision. It includes assessments for refractive errors (like nearsightedness or farsightedness), the detection of eye diseases and the overall condition of your eyes. Regular eye exams can help identify issues early and ensure optimal visual health.

How often should I schedule an eye examination?

The recommended frequency of eye exams varies depending on age and individual risk factors. As a general guideline, adults should have their eyes examined at least every two years and more frequently if they have specific eye conditions or are at higher risk. Children and seniors may require more frequent examinations.

What are common signs that I may need to see an optometrist?

Signs that may indicate a need for an eye examination include blurred or double vision, frequent headaches, difficulty focusing, eye strain, redness or irritation and changes in vision quality. If you experience any of these symptoms, scheduling an eye exam is advisable to address potential vision issues or eye health concerns.
