Undergoing eye exams by a doctor of optometry or ophthalmology is an important part of caring for your eyes and vision. These regular checkups are an important way to keep tabs on your eye health and are important even for those who do not wear corrective lenses or have an eye condition that needs monitoring. At Campus Eye Group, our eye specialists provide eye examinations to help ensure clear vision and healthy eyes.
Different Types of Eye Exams
Not all eye exams are the same. Some exams are more general, while others have specific purposes. Generally, eye exams can be classified by purpose and include:
Routine Eye Exams: A routine eye exam is a comprehensive eye exam to assess overall eye health and vision. It typically includes a review of medical and family health history, a visual acuity test, eye movement and coordination tests, pupil response testing, intraocular pressure testing, peripheral vision testing, and more. Regular eye exams are essential for maintaining good vision and detecting potential problems early on.
Follow-Up Exams: Follow-up exams are more specific in that they may be scheduled following a previous eye injury or procedure.
Medical/Emergency Exams: These types of exams occur when there is an issue affecting a patient’s vision. Examples include urgent problems such as an eye injury, sudden vision loss, or other serious vision problems.
Why Eye Exams are Important
Scheduling regular comprehensive eye exams is key for maintaining good vision, preventing eye conditions, and even identifying other health issues.
Detecting Vision Issues Early On
Eye exams can help identify common vision issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and more early on, ensuring timely correction with contact lenses or glasses. An eye exam and vision screening programs can also help to diagnose vision problems that occur gradually, which might otherwise go unnoticed. Overall, early diagnosis gives you the best chance for successful treatment or prevention of worsening symptoms of vision loss.
Monitoring and Preserving Eye Health
Some eye conditions, such as glaucoma or macular degeneration, do not show symptoms until they are more advanced. An eye exam can catch these issues when treatment is most effective.
Identifying Systemic Health Conditions
Because the eyes are a window into your overall health, a comprehensive eye exam can reveal signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, autoimmune disease, and neurological disorders. Diagnosis of these issues as soon as possible benefits your overall ocular and general health.
