Why Regular Eye Examinations Matter

An eye examination is one of the few tests where a clinician can look directly at living blood vessels and nerve tissue. That makes it a window into your general health.\n\nDiabetes, high blood pressure, raised cholesterol and some neurological conditions all leave signs at the back of the eye — sometimes before any other symptom appears. Alongside that, we detect glaucoma, cataracts and retinal disease early, when treatment works best.\n\nOnce a year is enough for most adults. If you have diabetes, glaucoma in the family, or you are over 60, come more often.
