What’s Included in Eye Exams for Seniors at Optometrists’ Clinic Inc.?
Our thorough eye exams for seniors go beyond checking your vision clarity. We perform a range of tests to assess your overall eye health, including:
- Visual acuity testing measures your ability to see at different distances .
- Refraction tests determine the correct prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses.
- Eye pressure measurements help with detection of glaucoma, a leading cause of vision loss.
- Dilation and fundus examinations provide a detailed view of your eye’s internal structures to detect signs of cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma and other diseases.
Why Is an Annual Eye Exam Crucial for Seniors?
Eye exams for seniors are vital in helping you maintain your vision and overall health. Detecting and treating eye diseases early can significantly improve outcomes and prevent vision loss.
You can benefit from the following by scheduling an annual eye exam:
- Identifying issues like cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration in their early stages allows for prompt treatment, improving the chances of preserving your vision.
- Monitoring existing eye conditions. For seniors with diabetes, regular eye exams are crucial for detecting and managing diabetic retinopathy. This condition, caused by high or fluctuating blood sugar levels damages blood vessels in the retina, and can lead to vision loss if left untreated.
- Preventing falls. Poor vision can be a significant risk factor for falls, a leading cause of injuries and complications among seniors. Regular eye exams ensure you have the correct vision correction to navigate your surroundings safely and reduce the risk of falls.
- Promoting overall health. Many eye diseases can be linked to other health conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and cancer. Regular eye exams can help detect these underlying issues early on.
If you notice more than one of these, and haven’t already, it’s time to book an eye exam with your Edmonton optometrists at The Optometrists’ Clinic!
