Regular eye examinations are vital due to the nature of vision-threatening eye diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, or diabetic retinopathy, which may present no or minimal symptoms until they have advanced, resulting in potential consequences. Timely detection and intervention by our optometrists play a crucial role in arresting or slowing down the progression of these conditions and preserving eyesight. During a comprehensive eye examination, your eye doctor diligently observes for the initial signs of these diseases to ensure early intervention and optimal eye health.
