ASK the EYE Doctor.

Your Eyes 👀Seem Healthy, But You Should Still Get Them Checked

Do you get your eyes checked annually?🏢 Once every two years, maybe? No, not even then? Do you remember the last time you even went in for an eye exam?!

The answer to the last question for the most of us is unfortunately NO😡. A common misconception about eye health is that, if there isn’t anything obviously wrong, we don’t need to go to the eye doctor.

However, just because your eyes are seemingly healthy doesn’t mean that they are. In fact, a lot of common eye conditions can have no symptoms or signs until it is too late to do anything about it🤷. Even if you are taking care of your body with supplements and a healthy diet, absorption of nutrients changes as you age, which is why it’s so important to stay vigilant😳.

Unfortunately, when we don’t go for an annual eye exam because we think our eyes are healthy, we’re then surprised by severe eye conditions and sometimes diseases that develop.

Glaucoma is an example of a no-symptom eye disease. Most patients only exhibit symptoms and signs of the disease when it has already progressed to the point where vision is almost completely gone and this could have been avoided by just a simple visit to an Optometrist or Ophthalmologist.

Your Eyes Seem Healthy, But You Should Still Get Them Checked. Honestly, you wouldn’t avoid visiting your physician just because you didn’t notice anything wrong with your body this year. We have no way of telling what’s truly brewing beneath the surface unless we seek professional help and advice. The same goes for eye care. Just because your eyes seem healthy, doesn’t always mean they are.

These nasty surprises can be easily avoided. All you need to do is, you guessed it, go see your Eye doctor.
