The Importance of Regular Eye Exams

‍

Eye examinations are an essential part of maintaining the health of your eyes as well as caring for your overall health and well-being!

At Punzal Vision, we recommend regular eye exams to ensure regular and consistent care of your eyes and to identify any issues, while they are still treatable or even preventable!

Here are a few reasons why we recommend scheduling regular Eye Exams:

• Early Detection: Regular eye exams can detect eye problems early, like glaucoma and macular degeneration, so you can get treatment before it's too late.
• Maintaining Healthy Vision: Your eye doctor will ensure that your glasses or contact lens prescription is up to date, and identify any changes in your vision that may require additional treatment or adjustments to your existing prescriptions.
• Checking for Additional Health Problems: Eye exams can also identify signs of other health concerns or problems early on, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, so that you can get treatment for these conditions as early as possible.
• General Care of Health & Wellbeing: Knowing that your eyes are healthy and taken care of can give you peace of mind and help you to develop a strong foundation for the care of your overall health and wellbeing.

Generally, we recommend that adults receive a comprehensive eye examination at least once a year. Children should have their first exam at 6 months old, followed by regular exams throughout childhood.

If you have a family history of eye problems or other risk factors, you may be required to have more frequent checkups or examinations.
