Each year we give thousands of patients’ comprehensive eye exams as one of the area’s leading vision centers. Regular eye exams are an invaluable tool in maintaining eye health by detecting and preventing disease. You may think your eyes are healthy, but visiting an eye care professional for a comprehensive dilated eye exam is the only way to really be sure.
Many eye diseases, such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, have no symptoms in their early stages. They develop gradually without causing pain or vision loss, so you may not notice that anything is wrong until significant and irreversible damage has been done. Early detection of eye disease allows for a choice of treatment options and reduced risk of permanent damage.
