My Eyesight is Great - Why Do I Need an Exam?

A complete eye exam is more than just updating your prescription for glasses or contacts. Your eye examination by an ophthalmologist consists of a series of tests to assess the overall health of your eyes. Your doctor also checks for eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataract, diabetes, hypertension, retinal detachments, etc.

The health and well-being of your eye is nothing to neglect. Even when your eyes 'appear' to be healthy and normal, your ophthalmologist can see conditions before they are evident to you. In this way, a routine examination by a qualified professional can be the difference between preventative care and major treatments.
