Taking care of your eyes is important, even when your vision seems fine.
Regular eye exams can help you keep track of your vision and eye health. They can also help Dr. Van spot changes early, before you notice a problem yourself.
Why Get Regular Eye Exams?
Being able to see clearly doesn’t always mean your eyes are healthy.
A comprehensive eye exam checks more than your vision. Dr. Van also looks at the health of your eyes and checks for signs of possible problems.
Regular exams also help Dr. Van see how your eyes change over time.
Easy Ways to Care for Your Eyes
A few simple habits can help protect your eyes:
- Get regular eye exams
- Wear sunglasses that block UV rays
- Take breaks from your computer and phone
- Keep your glasses or contact lens prescription current
- Wear eye protection when needed
- Tell Dr. Van if your vision changes
Your overall health matters, too. Conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure can affect your eyes.
Don’t Wait Until You Have a Problem
You don’t have to wait until your vision becomes blurry to get your eyes checked.
Some eye problems can develop without obvious symptoms at first. Regular eye exams help Dr. Van monitor your vision and eye health.
If you have sudden blurry vision, flashes, new floaters, eye pain, or a sudden change in your vision, contact an eye care professional promptly.
How Often Should You Get an Eye Exam?
It depends on your age, vision, health, and other risk factors.
Dr. Van can let you know how often you should have an exam.

Your eyes may feel perfectly fine today. That’s a good thing—but it’s still worth keeping up with regular eye care.
