How Often Should Adults & Seniors Have Eye Exams?
We recommend annual eye exams for adults of all ages. This regular schedule helps us stay ahead of potential concerns and adjust your care as your needs evolve.
For seniors, yearly exams are especially important, as the risk for certain eye conditions increases with age. A yearly check-in gives you peace of mind and keeps you and your vision on track.
Why Do Regular Eye Exams Matter?
Even if your vision feels fine, eye exams are still essential. Some eye conditions, such as glaucoma or macular degeneration, can develop gradually without noticeable symptoms.
Annual checkups provide an opportunity to monitor your eye health, update your prescription if necessary, and identify early signs of potential sight-related issues. Routine visits also help us understand your lifestyle and any changes over time. That way, we can recommend solutions that fit your day-to-day life, whether you’re behind a desk or chasing after grandkids.
What Happens During an Eye Exam?
Your exam will start with a conversation. We’ll discuss your vision, health, and daily habits. We’ll also review your prescription, assess how your eyes work together, and examine the health of your eyes using gentle, modern tools.
Our doctors will want to know about any symptoms you’ve noticed, like eye strain, dryness, or changes in vision. If anything needs a follow-up, we’ll explain your options in plain language and help you take the next step.
Our goal is to always provide care that feels personal, respectful, and easy to understand.
What Is Digital Eye Strain?
If you spend hours in front of a screen, you’re not alone, and your eyes might be feeling it. Common symptoms of digital eye strain include:
- Blurry vision
- Headaches
- Dry eyes
- Fatigue
Having these symptoms is normal, especially with the growing amount of screen time at work and home.
During your exam, we’ll talk about your screen habits and look at how your eyes are focusing. We can recommend small adjustments, like updated lenses or better lighting, that can make a big difference in your comfort throughout the day.
Managing Dry Eye Symptoms
Dry eye is more than just a nuisance. It can be a chronic condition that affects how your eyes feel and function. You might notice:
- Stinging
- Burning
- Redness
- Watery eyes
- A gritty sensation that doesn’t go away
We’ll assess your tear quality, check for any inflammation, and get a better understanding of your daily routine to find what’s contributing to the discomfort. From eye drops to lifestyle tweaks or in-office treatments, we’ll create a plan that works for you.
Common Eye Diseases
As we age, the risk of developing eye conditions grows, but regular checkups help us stay one step ahead. We screen for common eye concerns like:
Catching these early allows us to track changes and offer treatment options. These checks are gentle, noninvasive, and part of your regular exam, making routine eye exams so crucial.
We’ll always explain what we’re looking for and why, so you can feel confident in your care.
Managing Presbyopia & Booking Your Eye Exam
Presbyopia, or age-related farsightedness, generally occurs in adults over 40. It’s a normal part of aging that makes it tougher to focus on close-up objects. If reading menus or scrolling your phone is getting harder, you’re likely experiencing presbyopia.
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution, so we’ll help you explore what works for you. We may recommend reading glasses, progressive lenses, or contact lenses. We’ll guide you through your options without pressure so that you can find the right fit for your lifestyle.
