Why Is It Important to Get Regular Eye Exams?

Looking to schedule an eye exam near you? At Midway Optometry in San Diego, CA, we offer eye exams and other eye care services to help keep your eyes healthy. Here is why they can matter so much.

Do You Have Eye Conditions?

You may have an eye condition without knowing. Some eye diseases and conditions develop at a slow pace for multiple years. Early on, they might not cause any symptoms, but they may affect your vision later on.

Some of these eye diseases include:

●             Cataracts

●             Glaucoma

●             Age-related macular degeneration

●             Diabetic retinopathy

Routine exams allow us to look for signs of these conditions. We can also run tests and begin treatment for eye diseases if needed once we find them.

Do You Have Underlying Medical Conditions?

Diabetes and other diseases can affect your eyes. Without managing them, you could be at risk of vision loss. Regular eye exams help us check for changes to your eyes and vision.

Eye checkups can also help you find out if you have other health conditions. We might find signs of high blood pressure, for example. You can then seek treatment for these conditions.

Do You Need Corrective Lenses?

Has your vision been blurry? Do your current lenses not help you see clearly? It might be time to update your prescription. Aging and other factors can cause your vision to become worse if you have any of these:

●             Astigmatism

●             Farsightedness

●             Nearsightedness

●             Presbyopia

We can examine your eyes and update your prescription to help improve your vision.
