An annual eye exam allows your optometrist to detect and address health issues before any symptoms become obvious to you. Unfortunately, many eye conditions have no signs or symptoms in their early stages. By the time you notice many of them, the damage has already been done. An annual eye exam is the only way to detect eye conditions early when it’s best to treat them and prevent permanent damage.

Regular annual eye exams enable your eye doctor to track your vision and eye health over extended periods, revealing trends in your eye health. Identifying any deterioration in your eye health at an early stage enables more proactive treatment, and significantly increases the likelihood of maintaining excellent vision and eye health as you age.
