An eye exam is important for many reasons. You often get an eye exam for two main purposes.

Your eye doctor will certify whether your vision needs correction or not. If it does, then you can choose from glasses or contact lenses.

If you already have issues with your vision, your eye doctor can determine whether your prescription needs changing or if your vision has improved.

Your eye doctor can determine whether your eyes have health issues. Some eye issues you might have include cataracts, allergies, glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetic eye problems. 

Besides eye-related health issues, your eye doctor can even determine other potential diseases through your eye exam. Some diseases they might find include diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, cancer, or autoimmune disorders.

The eye exam results determine the outcome. If your vision is clear, then we can recommend your next eye exam based on your age. If you require vision correction, we provide a wide selection of glasses, frames, and contact lenses to help you. If your eyes have potential health issues, we can go over your next course of action for treatment.
