Comprehensive Eye ExamsEarly detection is the best way to protect your vision from permanent damage caused by diseases, aging, and injuries. Preventive, comprehensive eye examinations are the key to early detection of sight threatening conditions. At Morganton Eye Physicians, preventive eye examinations are available to the entire family! During a comprehensive eye exam near and distance vision is checked. This visual assessment may identify the need for eyeglasses or contact lenses. In addition to visual acuity testing, the eye doctor will also check muscle function for proper coordination. Muscle defects are treatable; however, the best treatment is early intervention. An external part of the eye exam includes testing the pressure inside the eye for signs of glaucoma. Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness because the disease is progressive and may not have obvious symptoms. The eyelids, tear ducts, and cornea are also examined. A comprehensive eye exam also includes a painless evaluation of the internal structure of the eye. The optic nerve, as well as the retina, is examined for early signs of diseases and disorders. To detect the presence of cataracts, the lens of the eye is examined with a special light called a slit lamp. Preventive medical care can help protect your eyes from permanent visual loss. Certain eye diseases do not cause symptoms for several months or even years; therefore, it is imperative that you schedule regular exams with an eye care professional. Loss of sight may preventable; however, good eye health and clear vision is dependent upon your actions. Routine eye examinations are a proactive approach to good eye health! |
