When is it time for an Eye Exam?

Do You… Squint trying to read the text on your TV? Have headaches? Have trouble seeing road signs ahead? Notice the text is blurry when you are reading? Have dry eyes after being in front of the computer screen?

If you answered yes to any of these ?’s It’s time to get your eyes checked!

Even if you answered no to these ?’s, Don’t assume you shouldn’t get your eyes checked!

20% of U.S. adults mistakenly believe they do not need an eye exam unless they are having trouble seeing. This just isn’t true.* Routine eye care is critical to healthy living, for numerous reasons! * Americans’ Attitudes & Perceptions About Vision Care survey, 2012

How Do Eye Exams Improve My Driving? Nearly all of the sensory input needed to drive comes from visual cues.* Your driving can be affected by: distance vision – how quickly do you read signs and see hazards in front of you? peripheral vision – how big is your blind spot? near-vision focus – how legible is your dashboard? night vision – can you readjust quickly from the glare? color vision – can you see signs and lights clearly? depth perception – how is your judgment when changing lanes and parking your car? *National Safety Council, Shedding Light on Driving in the Dark, 2007

Many of these issues can go undetected without a regular full eye-exam. Seeing well helps you drive well!

How often do you need an eye exam? The American Optometric Association recommends: years old with no risk factors: an eye exam every two years years old with family history of eye disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, taking certain medications or contact lens use: more frequent exams may be necessary -- always follow the recommendation of your eye doctor 61+ years old: an annual, comprehensive eye exam that includes testing for cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and other conditions commonly associated with aging
