Your eyes

Looking after your eyes

Regular eye checks
Regular eye checks are important for everyone regardless of age or physical health, as some serious eye conditions do not have any visible early warning symptoms. It’s especially important to have a regular check-up if there is a history of eye problems in your family. 

Your sight is precious!
During a comprehensive eye exam, your eye doctor does much more than just determines your prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses. He or she will also check your eyes for common eye diseases, assess how eyes work together as a team and evaluate your eyes as an indicator of your overall health.

Your eyes are windows to your health.
During a comprehensive eye exam, your eye doctor checks for more than just vision problems. They'll look for signs of health conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Also, eye doctors often are the first health care professionals to detect chronic systemic diseases such as high blood pressure and diabetes.

Early detection and treatment is the best way for you to keep your body—and wallet—healthy.
