Have You Had a Routine Eye Exam Lately?


When we have eyes that are in good condition, we sometimes overlook the importance of taking preemptive steps such as an eye exam. Nevertheless, timely diagnosis of eye disease is critical to keeping your eyes healthy. And all it takes is a simple eye test.


A significant number of optical ailments don't have any apparent symptoms. Therefore, individuals are often unaware that problems exist. You can book a thorough optical exam at our office in Potomac, MD , with our experienced optometric team. Our Potomac vision center uses the latest technology to provide you with a complete eye exam.


Unfortunately, more than three million Americans suffer from glaucoma, the main cause of blindness but only 50% of them know it. Glaucoma is often referred to as ''the sneak thief of sight'' because it can cause substantial damage without any symptoms. Most adults in America fail to use visual aids and don't receive regular eye exams, therefore leaving their eyes at great risk.


To make matters worse, many Americans are completely uninformed about the facts about glaucoma. In a recent poll, the American Optometric Association reported that well over half of Americans are under the false impression that glaucoma can be prevented. In actuality the sight-stealing disease cannot be prevented, while it can be treated if recognized in the early stages, making early detection even more important. Early detection and treatment are also necessary for halting the damaging effects of eye diseases including macular degeneration and cataracts.


Regular eye and vision examinations to check for eye disease should be a priority. Be sure to set up regular eye exams with your local eye doctor in order to maintain healthy eyes for years to come.
