Your eyes are your windows to the world. But many sight-threatening eye diseases can develop without any obvious symptoms. That’s why it’s crucial to get your eyes checked regularly, even if you think your vision is perfect. Early detection through comprehensive eye exams can help preserve your precious gift of sight.

##Eye Exams for Children

Did you know that 80% of learning is visual? Undetected vision problems can severely impact a child’s development, learning abilities and confidence. Pediatric eye exams can catch issues like lazy eye, crossed eyes, and refractive errors early, while they are still highly treatable. Make sure to schedule your child’s first eye exam between 6 to 12 months of age, then again at 3 years, before starting school, and annually thereafter.

##Eye Exams for Adults

Many serious eye diseases become more common with age. Glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration often develop without any early warning signs. A dilated eye exam is the only way to detect these diseases in their early stages when treatment is most effective. Adults should get a baseline eye exam at age 40, when age-related changes start to occur, and then as often as your eye doctor recommends based on your individual risk factors.

##Benefits of Early Detection

Early diagnosis and timely treatment of eye diseases offers several life-changing benefits:

– Lowering the risk of permanent vision loss
– Helping maintain existing vision through prompt intervention
– Reducing long-term eye care costs by preventing complications
– Preserving quality of life and independence
