VISION & HEALTH NEWS
Importance of
Eye Examinations
It is recommended that everyone
gets an annual eye exam, regardless
of their age or whether there
is any sign of eye illness or trouble.
Children should be tested at
birth, then again at 6 months, at
3 years, and then every year after
that to ensure proper ocular and
visual development. If a child
needs glasses and is not wearing
them prior to being 6 years old,
their brain may never develop the
proper neurological connections
and potentially preventing them
from ever seeing with 20/20
vision as an adult. For adults,
however, the frequency of eye
care visits depends on the doctor’s
recommendation and may
occur every year or possibly more
often, depending on your overall
eye health, how you use your eyes
on daily basis, and whether you
wear glasses or contacts.
Correcting Blurry Vision
Glasses and contact lenses
correct blurry vision. You may
want to wear them more often
in order to see things more comfortably
and without straining
your eyes from squinting. To set
the misconception straight, getting
used to seeing things more
clearly will not make your eyes
worse or dependent on needing
glasses or having to wear lenses.
However, your lens prescription
may change over time naturally
because of age or external eye
diseases. It is important to get
annual exams to determine if
your prescription is current and
whether there are any signs of
possible disease.
Schedule an appointment with
Dr. Joanna Slusky and give your
vision the level of care and attention
it deserves. v
