Annual eye exams can help detect many potentially treatable blinding conditions as well as reveal a lot about your overall health. A complete eye exam involves a series of tests designed to evaluate your vision and check for eye diseases. Changes in your vision or visible changes in the eye itself can be a sign of a serious condition. It is important to get a comprehensive eye exam each year - even if you are not getting new glasses or contact lenses. Call our office today to schedule an appointment with a qualified Doctor of Optometry.
