Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have an eye exam?
Adults should have an eye exam every one to two years, while children and seniors may need more frequent check-ups. Those with vision problems or health conditions like diabetes should follow their optometrist’s recommendations.
What’s the difference between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist?
Optometrists perform eye exams, prescribe glasses and contacts, and treat minor eye conditions. Ophthalmologists are medical doctors who can perform surgery and treat complex eye diseases.
Can an optometrist detect eye diseases?
Yes! Optometrists can diagnose and monitor conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. If necessary, they refer patients to specialists for advanced care.
What’s the best age for a child’s first eye exam?
Children should have their first eye exam at six months, then at age three, and again before starting school to ensure proper vision development.
Can digital screens harm my vision?
Extended screen time can cause digital eye strain, leading to dryness, headaches, and fatigue. Taking regular breaks and using blue light filters can help reduce discomfort.
