Keeping Your Eyes Healthy is Our Top Priority
High-quality eye exams are vital for maintaining both your immediate vision clarity and long-term eye health. These exams go beyond just checking your prescription; they evaluate the overall health of your eyes, screening for conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration that may not present noticeable symptoms in their early stages.
A thorough eye exam also helps detect systemic health issues such as diabetes or high blood pressure, which can affect your vision. By investing in regular, comprehensive eye care, you can ensure that your eyes remain healthy and your vision stays sharp for years to come.
No matter your age, a high-quality eye exam goes a long way towards ensuring that your vision remains clear and your eyes are healthy. Contact Arlington Vision Source in Arlington to book your eye exam today.
Eye Exams Can Save Your Vision
Eye exams are critical because many vision threatening eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, or diabetic retinopathy show no or minimal symptoms until the disease has progressed into its advanced stages. In these cases, early detection and treatment is essential to halting or slowing down the progression of the disease and saving eyesight.
During a comprehensive eye exam at our Arlington eye clinic, your eye doctor will be looking for initial signs of these diseases.
Eye Exams in Arlington, TX for Children & Young Adults
How Often Do Kids Need to Have Eye Exams?
Some experts estimate that approximately 5% to 10% of preschoolers and 25% of school-aged children have vision problems. According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), all children should have their eyes examined at 6 months of age, at age 3 and again at the start of school. Children without vision problems or risk factors should then continue to have their eyes examined at least every two years throughout school.
Children with existing vision problems or risk factors should have their eyes examined more frequently. Common risk factors for vision problems include:
- premature birth
- developmental delays
- turned or crossed eyes
- the family history of eye disease
- history of eye injury
- other physical illness or disease
The AOA recommends that children wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses have their eyes examined at least every 12 months or according to their eye doctor's instructions. Consult with our Arlington optometric team for personalized recommendations to correct vision issues and help a child succeed.
What Happens During An Eye Exam?
Our eye doctor in Arlington, Texas, will check your vision thoroughly to provide you with an accurate prescription. If you wear eyeglasses or contact lenses, your visual acuity will be assessed both with and without your corrective lenses.
You'll be asked to read from a basic eye chart, which tests your eyesight at various distances. The normal measurement for eyes with no refractive error is 20/20. We'll also use a phoropter to check carefully for astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness. This procedure involves having you look through a series of lenses, and you'll need to give feedback on which ones give the clearest vision. With the aid of a retinoscope, we'll measure how light focuses on your retina with each of the different lenses.
These tests, among others, provide us with the information needed to check your eye health and issue an accurate prescription.
Experience the Freedom of Contact Lenses
Contact lenses offer a convenient and comfortable solution for clear vision without compromise. Designed for a natural feel and unobstructed view, contact lenses are ideal for an active lifestyle, special occasions, or everyday wear. With options available for all prescriptions and needs, including multifocal and astigmatism lenses, you can enjoy personalized vision correction tailored just for you.
High Quality Vision Care For Those Over 40
Just like the rest of our bodies, our eyes begin to weaken as we age. There are a number of common age-related eye conditions such as presbyopia, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration that can begin to affect your vision and your daily life. While some of these conditions are more of an inconvenience, others could lead to vision loss and dependency.
In addition to regular yearly eye exams, it is important to be aware of any changes in your eye health and vision. Also know your potential risk factors as well as your family ocular and medical history. Over half of the vision loss worldwide is preventable with proper treatment and care.
