Why you should get your eye examined.
Vision
care is often neglected. In reality, how much could we actually
accomplish in a day without the precious gift of sight? The eyes
function as a window to our bodies. Dilated pupils can reveal the
presence of undiagnosed problems throughout the body. Here are three
great reasons to schedule a comprehensive eye examination today from Phoenix Eye Clinic.
1. Eye Disease
Many serious eye diseases often have no symptoms. Glaucoma is an eye
disease that causes vision loss and is commonly known as the "sneak
thief of sight." Conditions such as macular degeneration or cataracts
develop so gradually that you may not even realize your vision has
decreased. Diabetic retinopathy is a condition that may develop in
patients with diabetes. Early detection of these and other eye diseases is important for maintaining healthy vision.
2. Visual Acuity
Your
prescription needs to be checked on a regular basis to make sure your
visual acuity is the best it can be. Annoying headaches or general
fatigue are often caused by uncorrected refractive errors or slight over
or under corrections of your prescription. In addition, if you spend
more than two hours on a computer each day, you
may develop a condition known as computer vision syndrome, or CVS.
Symptoms of CVS include headaches, focusing difficulties, burning eyes, tired eyes, eyestrain, aching eyes, dry eyes,
double vision, blurred vision, light sensitivity, and neck and shoulder
pain. CVS is treated with eyeglasses made for computer users.
3. Developmental Problems
Uncorrected
vision problems in children often cause learning and reading
difficulties or contribute to other medical problems such as dyslexia
and ADD. Uncorrected vision in children can often cause amblyopia (lazy eye) or strabismus (eye turn) which can cause permanent poor vision if not treated early in life.
