Why Eye Exams Are Crucial To Your Health In Las Vegas

Regular visits to your eye doctor provide an important yardstick by which
your ophthalmologist can measure the health of your eyes and body. A vision
test can determine whether you need eyeglasses or contacts to improve
your vision, as well as diagnose and monitor chronic eye conditions. YESnick
Vision Center is a family eye center offering affordable eye care including
eye exams, low vision therapy, and glasses frames and lenses in Las Vegas.

 

Visiting your eye doctor for regular eye exams is an important step toward
better overall health. A simple vision test is no substitute for a comprehensive
eye exam—eye exams not only monitor the acuity of your vision, but
also test the health of your eyes and can even detect changes in your
overall health before other symptoms become apparent.

 

• Good vision is essential for daily comfort and quality of life. When you
  cannot see properly, you may have difficulty at work, during leisure activities,
  or even pose a risk to yourself or others when driving or using tools
  and machinery that require good vision for safety.

 

• Many eye diseases don't cause noticeable vision loss until the eye
  has been irreparably damaged. Regular eye exams check for signs of disease
  so you can begin treatment before permanent vision loss that affects your
  quality of life occurs.

 

• Some systemic health conditions, including diabetes and high blood pressure,
  can become apparent in the eyes before other symptoms appear. Your eye
  doctor may find signs of chronic disease during your eye exam that can
  prompt you to seek the medical care you need for better health more quickly.
