Ophthalmology and Optometry Q & A

Why do I need regular eye exams?

Eye diseases, like many other conditions, often don't have any noticeable symptoms in their early stages. Regular eye exams allow the doctors – Janna Stepankoff, OD, Anna Lazarev, OD, Swathi Reddy, MD, Adebayo Adebukola, MD, Mark Harooni, MD, and Solly Elmann, MD, –to detect diseases of the eyes in the early stages and develop treatment plans that will ensure that your vision is protected.

In addition, if you have chronic health conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure, you should see an eye doctor at least once a year to avoid complications that affect eyes (e.g. diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, etc). Allergy sufferers also need to see eye doctors on a regular basis to manage itchy, watery and dry eyes caused by allergies. Most children should get their first eye exam before they start school.
