Many people don't understand the importance of eye care and regular check ups. The eyes are one of the most important organs in the body, and yet they may be overlooked when it comes to health. Eye care is important for many reasons. For one, the eyes are how we see the world around us. If there is something wrong with our eyes, it can impact our ability to see clearly. Fortunately, at Urban Eyewear Designs in Plantation, FL, our staff is here to educate our patients about the importance of eye care and regular check-ups.
Do I Need an Eye Exam?
Even if your vision is very good, you may need to see an eye doctor at least once a year. Why? Because annual eye exams can detect early signs of serious health problems, like diabetes, high blood pressure, and even certain types of cancers. If caught early, these conditions are much easier to treat.
In addition to detecting serious health problems, annual eye exams can also help to ensure that you are seeing your best. Over time, our vision may change, and glasses or contact lenses may be needed to see clearly.
At Urban Eyewear Designs, we offer eye exams that will test your vision and check for any underlying health problems. We also offer a wide selection of stylish glasses and contacts, so you can find the perfect pair to suit your needs.
How an Optometrist Can Help
During your eye exam, an optometrist on our team will:
- Test your vision
- Check for any underlying health problems
- Prescribe glasses or contact lenses, if needed
- Provide guidance on how to protect your eyes from future damage
Without the help of an optometrist, it would be difficult to detect many of the underlying health problems that can impact your vision. That's why it may be useful to see an eye doctor on a regular basis, especially if you are older, even if you think your vision is fine.
Treatment for Vision Issues
If, during your eye exam, it is determined that you need glasses or contact lenses, an optometrist on our team can help you choose the best option for your needs. We will help you by finding the best prescription for your vision and by providing guidance on how to care for your glasses or contacts.
