The Importance of Eye Health and Eye Exams

Keeping your eyes in good health is an important aspect of overall wellness. Dr. Greg Wacasey is here for all your eye care needs. Eye exams are your best preventative measure for protecting your vision.
 

Comprehensive Eye Exams

Many people are confused when they think of an eye exam as only reading a few letters on a chart. Vision screenings in schools or shopping areas can be performed by just about anyone and do not require advanced training. Conversely, comprehensive eye exams give you the whole picture of your vision and eye health.
 

Dr. Wacasey has specialized equipment and knowledge to detect potential problems that you may have with your vision. Comprehensive eye exams can also indicate how your overall health is, often diagnosing high blood pressure and diabetes, among other medical conditions that can compromise your quality of life.
 

Eye Exams For Good Eye Health

Eye diseases are often very subtle in the early stages. Cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma can only be diagnosed and treated by an optometrist. More importantly, it's critical to catch these eye conditions early on for better treatment results. If you are over the age of 40 you should see an eye doctor annually to check for age-related eye diseases. Although there isn't a cure for macular degeneration or glaucoma, you are in much better hands if you are consistent with your yearly eye appointments.
