Comprehensive Eye Exams 
for Hope Mills, Eastover, NC & the Surrounding Areas

A yearly eye exam is recommended for all ages, even if you have generally good vision. Adult eye exams can help you stay current with your prescription and help your eye doctors detect any eye diseases or vision problems. Your eye health is just as important as the rest of your body’s health, and it is important that it is treated that way. You may think you see just fine, However, it is important to be examined by a professional in order to make sure your vision is optimal for driving and other tasks that may be potentially dangerous if you don’t have good vision. Some reasons you should consider scheduling an eye exam with an eye doctor include:

• Vision correction
• Keep prescriptions up to date
• Protect yours and your child’s eye health
• Eye exams can detect other health problems

The Importance of Eye Exams

The importance of eye exams goes far beyond correcting blurry vision and other seemingly simple vision problems. Here are a few reasons as to why it is important to visit an eye doctor and have annual eye exams done:

• Increase in cases of myopia: Children are developing myopia, more commonly known as nearsightedness, at an alarming rate as of recent years. Not only are more children developing nearsightedness, but it is happening at an earlier age. Children who do develop myopia at an early age are prone to more serious eye conditions down the road, such as cataracts and glaucoma. 
• Glaucoma: Continuing with glaucoma, of all serious eye diseases, it can be the hardest to detect. This is so because there are no early warning signs in most cases of glaucoma. People who fail to have annual eye exams usually only realize they have glaucoma when it is too late and have permanently lost their vision. Early detection of eye diseases such as glaucoma is vital to ensuring the problems do not progress further.
• Eye exams can help catch other serious problems: It is very common for people to first find that they have serious health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure through eye exams. During an in-depth eye exam, an eye doctor will evaluate the health of the blood vessels in your retina, which are a good indication of the condition of the other blood vessels throughout your body.
