Why Do I Need a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
Of your five senses, your sight is arguably the most important, which makes caring for your vision very important. The best way to do that is through regular comprehensive eye exams with the eye specialists at Visioncare Associates in Beverly Hills.
While determining whether you have any visions problems is an important part of your comprehensive eye exam, the ophthalmologists and optometrists at Visioncare Associates also check your eyes for signs of more serious problems. For example, a simple test called tonometry screens for glaucoma by measuring the fluid pressure in your eyes.
Your eye specialist also checks the health of your retina during a comprehensive eye exam, which is especially important for people with diabetes and high blood pressure (hypertension) who are at risk for retinopathy. In addition to glaucoma, your eye specialist also checks for early signs of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
If you’re having problems with your eyes, such as red eyes or dry eyes, an eye exam provides an opportunity to discuss the problem and get started on a treatment plan.
