At Lauren Alexander Vision Source, we believe comprehensive eye exams are essential for everyone, regardless of age or current vision. A thorough eye exam goes beyond determining your prescription—it plays a critical role in identifying potential eye health issues and detecting early signs of systemic conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
A comprehensive eye exam is a thorough evaluation of your eye health and vision, going beyond the simple vision screening to determine if you need glasses or contact lenses. During a comprehensive exam, our optometrists assess various aspects of your vision and eye function, including visual acuity, eye muscle coordination, and your ability to focus. The exam also checks for signs of common eye diseases, and it can even reveal early indications of overall health issues. By detecting problems early, comprehensive eye exams help maintain both your eye health and overall well-being.
Many eye conditions, such as glaucoma or macular degeneration, show no early symptoms. By the time you notice vision changes, significant damage may already have occurred. A comprehensive eye exam can detect these conditions early, allowing for timely intervention and treatment.
Your eyes can reveal much about your overall health. During an eye exam, optometrists can identify early signs of systemic diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, and even autoimmune disorders. Regular exams can help your doctor catch these issues early, possibly preventing complications.
Whether you need glasses, contact lenses, or a more advanced treatment like orthokeratology, staying up to date on the latest vision correction options ensures that you receive the most effective and personalized treatment to maintain optimal eye health and clear vision.
For children, regular eye exams are crucial for proper vision development. Issues such as lazy eye, strabismus, or uncorrected refractive errors can interfere with learning and development. Early detection and treatment can help children succeed both academically and socially.
At Lauren Alexander Vision Source, we recommend scheduling a comprehensive eye exam at least once every year for adults. Children and individuals with risk factors for certain eye conditions may require more frequent exams. If you have a family history of eye disease, wear corrective lenses, or are experiencing any vision problems, regular check-ups are especially important.
Comprehensive eye exams are more than just a routine part of life—they're a proactive step toward preserving your vision and overall health. Whether you need an updated prescription or a thorough check of your eye health, scheduling a comprehensive eye exam with Lauren Alexander Vision Source will ensure your eyes are in good hands.
