Routine Eye Exams

Routine Eye Exams

Our vision is vital for navigating the world around us, connecting with loved ones, and living life to the fullest. Unfortunately, some of these individuals may neglect their eye health until they experience noticeable vision changes. This reactive approach can have detrimental consequences, as some eye diseases silently progress until irreversible damage occurs to the patient’s vision. Fortunately, prioritizing routine eye exams with your optometrist can help you detect threats early before any permanent vision loss occurs.

Visit us at East Memphis Optometry in Memphis, TN, for the eye care you need to maintain your eye health from an eye doctor near you.

Preventative Eye Care Near You

Think of a routine eye exam as a health check for your eyes. During the exam, the optometrist goes beyond simply measuring your refractive error (nearsightedness, farsightedness, etc.), the optometrist also looks for potential abnormalities and signs of disease.

A proactive approach allows for the early detection of various eye conditions, including:

•             Glaucoma: This silent thief of sight gradually damages the optic nerve, potentially leading to irreversible vision loss. Early detection and treatment can significantly slow its progression and potentially preserve vision.

•             Cataracts: Cataracts cause blurry vision and impaired light sensitivity by clouding the eye’s lens. Early diagnosis allows for timely intervention.

•             Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD): This leading cause of vision loss in older adults affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. Early detection can help manage the disease and prevent severe vision loss.

•             Diabetic Retinopathy: A complication of diabetes, this condition damages the blood vessels in the retina, potentially leading to vision loss. The good news is that regular eye exams allow for early detection and treatment to protect vision.

Eye Exams Can Help Detect Other Issues

Your eyes offer a window into your overall health. During your eye exam, the optometrist may detect signs of systemic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. This early awareness can help you to take proactive steps in managing these conditions and safeguarding your health.
