Three Reasons why you must get your Eyes Examined

Vision care is often neglected. In reality, how much could we actually accomplish in a day without the precious gift of sight? The eyes function as a window to our bodies. Dilated pupils can reveal the presence of undiagnosed problems throughout the body. Here are three great reasons to schedule a comprehensive eye examination today from Phoenix Eye Clinic.

 

1. Eye Disease

Many serious eye diseases often have no symptoms. Glaucoma is an eye disease that causes vision loss and is commonly known as the "sneak thief of sight." Conditions such as macular degeneration or cataracts develop so gradually that you may not even realize your vision has decreased. Diabetic retinopathy is a condition that may develop in diabetic patients. Early detection of these and other eye diseases is important for maintaining healthy vision.

2. Visual Acuity

Your prescription needs to be checked on a regular basis to make sure your visual acuity is the best it can be. Annoying headaches or general fatigue are often caused by slight over or under corrections of your prescription. In addition, if you spend more than two hours on a computer each day, you may develop a condition known as computer vision syndrome, or CVS. Symptoms of CVS include headaches, focusing difficulties, burning eyes, tired eyes, eyestrain, aching eyes, dry eyes, double vision, blurred vision, light sensitivity, and neck and shoulder pain. CVS is treated with eyeglasses made for computer users.

3. Developmental Problems

Uncorrected vision problems in children often cause learning and reading difficulties or contribute to other medical problems such as dyslexia and ADD. Uncorrected vision in children can often cause amblyopia (lazy eye) or strabismus (eye turn) which can cause permanent vision loss if not treated early in life.
