Contact us to book your next eye exam and be proactive in your vision health.
Eye exams are about more than determining your glasses or contact lens prescription. An eye exam can help detect the development of eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. These diseases can appear as we age and lead to vision loss without proper management.
As you age, your vision can change, so consistent eye exams are key. A consistent check-up schedule with our team can help our doctors detect these changes in your vision and act on any possible issues.
Our eye exams help our patients remain informed about their eye health and allow us to remain familiar with their unique visual needs.
At Rock optiX, we know life can get busy, and eye exams may be something you forget. It’s essential to remain consistent with your eye exams, even if you don’t have immediate vision concerns.
Your comprehensive eye exam will consist of a series of tests to evaluate your vision and check for developing eye diseases or vision issues.
The American Optometric Association recommends the following eye exam frequency for adults and seniors is one exam every 2 years from 18 to 64 years old.
Higher-risk adults may need a customized exam schedule to fit their unique needs. Our team can help determine if you need more frequent exams to accommodate for risk factors such as:
Vision issues can develop as you age, and the importance of consistent eye exams increases. If you’re over 65, it’s recommended that you get a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year.
Your vision can change substantially as you age, and going in for an eye exam helps us detect developing issues. Some eye conditions can develop without any notice, so it’s essential to stay caught up with your eye exams.
At Rock optiX, we pride ourselves on being your destination for comprehensive vision care. Consistent eye exams are vital to preserving your vision health, and we look forward to meeting you.
