Our Optometrists in Corpus Christi Express the Importance of Annual Eye Exams to Help Detect Eye Diseases Early

At your Corpus Christi optometrist, provide annual eye exams to all our patients. Our eye exams check for three things:

Refractive error-Nearsightedness and farsightedness are both types of refractive error. These conditions can be treated with corrective lenses like eyeglasses and contact lenses. We help our patients who experience refractive error by writing a prescription for corrective lenses and helping the patient find the right kind of glasses or contacts for their needs.

Eye function-During our comprehensive eye exams, we check our patients for proper eye function, such as the ability to perceive depth, see color and track moving objects across a page.

Eye disease-We also check all our patients for eye diseases like cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma and more. These tests don't take long and are painless.

Benefits of Eye Exams

There are many benefits of getting regular eye exams. For example:

  • Eye exams help us detect eye diseases early.
  • Early detection and treatment can prevent diseases and conditions from worsening, which can help save your vision.
  • Functioning without proper vision can make it hard to succeed in the classroom, the workplace and at home. Eye exams and eye treatment can help patients avoid these problems.
