Many people visit an eye doctor only when they have serious vision problems. However, regular eye checkups are just as important as general health checkups. Eyes are very sensitive organs, and many conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, or diabetic eye disease can develop slowly without obvious symptoms. Detecting these problems early can save your vision.
A routine eye examination usually includes:
Vision Test – Checking if you need glasses or if your prescription has changed.
Eye Pressure Test – To screen for glaucoma.
Slit Lamp Examination – To look for cataracts, corneal issues, or other eye diseases.
Retina Examination – To detect diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, or other retinal problems.
These tests are simple, painless, and take only a short time, but they provide valuable information about your eye health.
Children – First checkup at age 3, then before school, and regularly if vision problems are suspected.
Adults – Every 2 years if under 40, and once a year after 40.
High-Risk Patients – People with diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of eye diseases should get annual eye exams.
Regular eye checkups are an easy way to protect your eyesight and overall health. Whether you are a child, adult, or senior, making eye exams a part of your routine can prevent serious vision problems in the future. At our eye hospital, we provide advanced eye checkups to ensure your eyes remain healthy for life.
