Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have an eye exam?
Adults should have exams every 1-2 years, more often with diabetes, glaucoma, or other risk factors. Children should have screening before school and periodically.
Do I need dilated exams?
Dilation allows thorough retinal examination and is important for detecting many conditions. We recommend periodic dilated exams for comprehensive assessment.
Can eye diseases be prevented?
Many risk factors can be modified: controlling diabetes and blood pressure, not smoking, wearing sunglasses, and eating well. Regular exams allow early detection and treatment.
Is glaucoma hereditary?
Family history is a risk factor. If you have relatives with glaucoma, regular screening is especially important.
When should cataracts be removed?
When they significantly affect your vision and daily activities. The decision is made together based on your symptoms and needs.
Can diabetic eye disease be reversed?
Damage cannot be reversed, but progression can often be slowed or stopped with good diabetes control and appropriate treatment. Prevention through control and screening is key.
