Common eye health issues
Our eyes are one of the most important organs in our body and yet we often neglect to take care of them until it’s too late. There are a variety of common eye health issues that many people experience, and our comprehensive eye exam can help determine whether or not you may be experiencing any of these issues.
One of the most common issues is myopia, or nearsightedness. This means that your eyes are unable to see objects clearly at a distance. Hyperopia, or farsightedness, is another common issue that makes it difficult to see objects up close. Both of these issues are usually easily correctable with glasses or contact lenses.
Another common eye health issue is glaucoma, which is a progressive condition that damages the optic nerve and can lead to blindness if left untreated. With regular eye exams, glaucoma can be detected early and treated before it causes permanent vision loss.
Cataracts are also a common eye health issue, particularly in older adults. Essentially, a cataract is a clouding of the lens in the eye, which can cause blurred vision and sensitivity to light. Thankfully, cataracts are also easily treatable with surgery.
At Visual Eyes Optical, we believe that prevention is key. Regular eye exams can help detect any potential eye health issues before they become more serious problems. Schedule an appointment with us today to ensure that your eyes are in optimal health.
