Having your eyes checked on a regular basis is one of the\nbest things you can do to safeguard your vision. Because your eye health is\nvery important no matter your age, it is important for both adults and children\nto have a comprehensive eye exam at least once every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A comprehensive eye exam<\/a> involves a careful and thorough evaluation of the different aspects of your visual health. We will assess your eye structures and their respective functions. The main objective is to identify eye conditions and render necessary treatment as soon as possible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Along with testing to see if you need new glasses or contact\nlenses, tests are performed to see if there are any signs of eye disease such\nas glaucoma or macular degeneration which have little or no symptoms until\nsignificant damage has already occurred. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Besides your eye health, your overall bodily health can be detected through your eyes as well. A comprehensive eye exam<\/a> also includes examinations of the retina, cornea, blood vessels and nerves for any signs that might signify the onset of tumors, cancer, high blood pressure and diabetes, among other conditions that can be first detected in the eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Comprehensive eye exams can only be performed by an\noptometrist or ophthalmologist. These professionals have undergone many years\nof study and training, enabling them to make an accurate diagnosis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike the in-depth information acquired through a\ncomprehensive eye exam, a vision screening is a very quick and simple way to\ntest if there are any obvious indications of a vision or eye problem. A vision\nscreening program is often included as part of children\u2019s school requirements.\nIt involves a brief and general evaluation of your eyes, looking for signs of\nchanges or irregularities. If any warning signs are found during a vision\nscreening, a comprehensive eye exam for a more in-depth visual assessment is\ntypically recommended. Vision screenings can be performed by a nurse, general\npractitioner or even a volunteer. Vision screenings, though a great surface\nlevel way to make sure nothing is obviously wrong, should never replace\ncomprehensive eye exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn more about vision screenings or to schedule a comprehensive eye exam with one of our doctors<\/a> in Medford, contact Medical Eye Center at 541-779-4711 or staging.medicaleyecenter.com<\/a> today. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Having your eyes checked on a regular basis is one of the best things you can do to safeguard your vision.
