Comprehensive eye exam is important for detecting any eye problems at their early stages.

Eyecare providers can see signs of stroke, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, brain tumors, multiple sclerosis and more, through an eye exam.
The doctor will not only determine if you require a prescription for eyeglasses, but they will also check your eyes for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes work together as a team and evaluate your eyes as indicators of your overall health.
You only have one set of precious eyes, and taking good care of them should be a top priority. The only way to do that is by visiting your eye doctor regularly. Even if you believe your eye health is excellent, preventative care can catch any issues before they escalate.

As you get older, you’ll need more frequent eye exams.
