What kind of optometry services do I need?

An optometrist plays a critical role in preserving your eyesight. At Vision Corner, the team checks your vision each year to monitor your eye health. If you have problems, they can develop a treatment to improve your vision.

An optometrist does more than prescribe eyeglasses or contacts. They also screen you for serious health conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration. If you have diabetes, it's especially important to see your optometrist often. Regular visits with the team can help prevent diabetic eye damage.

The staff can also help you with a variety of other eye problems like dry eyes and allergies. If you have a vision disorder like strabismus or amblyopia, the team can also provide vision therapy to address your symptoms.

Do I really need an eye exam every year?

Both children and adults should see their optometrist at least once a year. During your yearly eye exam, the team tests your eyesight to determine whether you need glasses or contact lenses. If you already have glasses or contacts, they ensure your prescription is accurate.

Vision exams are especially important for children. Eyesight problems can be the root of many academic and behavioral issues. Children aren't always able to identify these difficulties on their own. An experienced optometrist can quickly determine if there is a problem with your child's vision.

During your yearly eye exam, the team may recommend special tests like retinal photographs. These tests can help diagnose serious medical problems that affect eye health. The sooner these conditions are detected, the better your chances for recovery.

When should I call my eye doctor if I notice a problem with my vision?

You should keep up with your annual eye exams, even if your eyes feel healthy. But if you're experiencing sudden vision problems, don't wait for your yearly exam. Call Vision Corner right away if you notice unexplained changes in your vision.

It's also essential to get help right away if you injure your eyes. Prompt medical care can help prevent permanent vision loss after an injury. Vision Corner offers same-day appointments to make sure patients get care when they need it most.
