Why Schedule a Check-Up with Your Wilmette Optometrist?
Did you know that many people only schedule an eye exam with an eye doctor when they need new glasses or have a current eye problem? Taking a proactive approach to your vision is a much better alternative. Here are a few reasons why a regular eyecare check-up is essential and how our professionals from New Vision Optical Wilmette can help.
Your Vision Changes Over Time
Although you may not notice, your vision typically gets worse every year. This situation can compromise your ability to perform daily activities like driving or work. An eye exam will involve a visual acuity test to assess if your glasses or contacts are working effectively. If not, we will write a new prescription to help you see more clearly.
Numerous Eye Diseases Have No Early Symptoms
Although you may feel fine, many serious eye diseases like glaucoma or macular degeneration have no warning signs in the early stages of development. Our trained optometrists can diagnose and treat these conditions. While many of these diseases have no cure, it's much easier to manage eye diseases if they're caught early on.
Keep Your Prescription Updated
When our eye doctors write a prescription, it is valid for a year. For our clients that wear contacts, they will need another exam before they can order more contacts. For glasses, it's critical to have the correct prescription to avoid blurry vision, headaches, or feeling dizzy as a result of an incorrect prescription.
