May 2 - 16 | Why use a seat belt when you never have had a car accident? The answer - of course - is that the risk to one's health is worth using the safety belt - just in case. So why get an eye exam even if you see well? The answer is the same - the risk to one's [eye] health is worth using the safety belt - just in case. The safety belt is of course an eye exam. Optometrists look for so much more that just whether you need glasses. Diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, glaucoma, retinal issues, corneal issues, cancer - these are are all things that could be detected early during an eye exam. Whether that be with us or another Optometrist... consider an eye exam even if you see well... it could save your sight!
