The Importance of Comprehensive Eye Exams
Comprehensive exams are key to healthy long-term vision. Routine eye exams check not only your visual acuity but also evaluate for any eye diseases that may be lurking under the surface to prevent any problems from arising by catching them early on.
The Importance of Pediatric Eye Care
It is critical to have your children’s eyes checked on a regular basis. Experts estimate that 80% of learning is visual, which means that if your child has trouble seeing clearly, their learning may be affected. We utilize special techniques and technology to provide the best pediatric eye care to our young patients. A child’s comfort ensures accurate testing.
Why Geriatric Eye Care?
As we age, so do our eyes, which is why geriatric eye care services are an important part of one’s overall health management. As people get older, they need more comprehensive eye exams and state-of-the-art treatment for many common ocular diseases. Nowadays, seniors have an exceptional quality of life, making proper geriatric eye care more crucial than ever, especially since most age-related eye diseases show no signs or symptoms until vision loss has occurred.
