Who Should Have Their Eyes Examined?
Eye exams are a vital part of health maintenance for everyone. Adults should have their eyes examined annually to keep their prescriptions current and to monitor for early signs of eye disease. Children as well as infants should be evaluated closely to ensure proper visual development. Vision is closely linked to the learning process. Many children will not complain of vision problems simply because they do not know what “normal” vision looks like. If your child performs poorly in school, complains of headaches or struggles with homework, it is important to have their vision evaluated. Regular eye examinations are important for seeing more clearly, learning more easily and preserving your vision and visual health for life.
