The Importance of Regular Eye Exams

Routine eye checkups are more than just a simple vision test; they are a critical part of maintaining your overall health. Many people only schedule an eye exam when they notice a change in their vision, but by then, some conditions may have already progressed.

During a comprehensive eye exam, Dr. D'souza doesn't just check for refractive errors like nearsightedness or farsightedness. She also screens for common eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy, many of which have no early symptoms. Early detection is key to preventing significant vision loss. Furthermore, your eyes can be a window to your overall health, revealing signs of systemic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and even certain types of cancer. Don't wait for a problem to arise. Make regular eye exams a priority for a lifetime of clear vision and good health.
