Your eyes change as you get older. Sometimes you notice the change right away. Other times, your vision may seem fine even when something is starting to change.
Regular eye exams can help you stay ahead of those changes and keep track of your vision and eye health.
Why Eye Exams Matter
An eye exam is about more than checking whether you need glasses.
Dr. Van also checks the health of your eyes and looks for signs of problems that may not affect your vision right away.
Regular exams can help Dr. Van spot changes early and monitor your eyes over time.
Simple Ways to Care for Your Eyes
Taking care of your eyes doesn’t have to be complicated. A few simple habits can help:
- Have regular eye exams
- Wear sunglasses that block UV rays
- Give your eyes breaks when spending a lot of time on screens
- Keep your glasses and contact lens prescriptions up to date
- Tell Dr. Van about changes in your vision
- Manage health conditions that can affect your eyes
When Should You Have an Eye Exam?
You don’t have to wait until you have trouble seeing to get your eyes checked.
It’s important to have your eyes examined if you notice blurry vision, new floaters, flashes of light, eye pain, or a sudden change in your vision.
Even when everything seems normal, regular eye exams can help you understand how your eyes are doing.
