Eye care
Adults should have a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years, even if they do not notice vision changes. For children, exams are recommended at 6 months, age 3, before first grade, and annually thereafter. Seniors, especially those over 60, should schedule annual exams to monitor for age-related conditions such as glaucoma or macular degeneration. Individual needs may vary, so speak with an eye care professional for personalized guidance.
Vision screenings, often completed at schools or during physicals, are quick checks for basic sight concerns. A comprehensive eye exam performed by an eye care professional evaluates visual acuity, eye health, and focusing ability. It may also identify ocular signs associated with conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
Yes. Contact lens prescriptions include measurements such as base curve and diameter that are not part of an eyeglass prescription. A professional contact lens fitting helps confirm that the lenses sit correctly and comfortably on the eye.
Prescription changes can occur because of natural vision development, changes in focusing ability, or presbyopia. Regular examinations allow an eye care professional to monitor these changes and determine whether additional evaluation is appropriate.
Prescriptions typically expire after one to two years. Using an outdated prescription may contribute to discomfort, eye strain, or headaches. Confirm that your prescription is current before purchasing new eyewear.
Digital eye strain may include dry eyes, blurred vision, headaches, or discomfort after extended screen use. Regular visual breaks, appropriate lighting, and the 20-20-20 rule may help. Persistent symptoms should be discussed with a qualified eye care professional.
