Eye exams are a key part of maintaining healthy eyes and keeping track of your vision. We offer eye exams in Mount Prospect to children, teenagers and adults of all ages. To enjoy optimal eye health, we recommend an annual vision exam. We accept most vision insurance plans, which typically cover one eye exam every year.
If it has been a while since you had your eyes checked, now is a good time to make that appointment. As you get older, your vision changes. Perhaps you wear glasses for nearsightedness. Around middle age, your eyes may start to change. You might have some trouble seeing things close-up, too. Many people need bifocals between the ages of 40 and 50. If you have always had good vision, but now you have trouble seeing your computer screen or reading a book, you might need a pair of reading glasses.
People with certain chronic diseases should also prioritize getting an annual eye exam. If you have had a traumatic brain injury, stroke or concussion, it is important to keep track of the health of your eyes and your visual acuity. People with diabetes are at an increased risk of eye damage and vision loss. During an eye exam, we perform a few tests that can detect diseases of the eye. With our lights and lenses, we are able to check for retinal damage, injury or damage to the optic nerve and test the internal pressure of your eyes. These tests help us to detect eye diseases and vision disorders in their earliest stages, which is when eye treatments are the most effective.
