The Need for Regular Vision Examinations

Vision is the most important of the human senses, and trouble with the eyes can both disrupt a person's life and indicate other health disorders. This is why everyone needs to undergo regular eye exams. Exactly how often you receive such checks will depend upon several factors. When you decide on your next eye exam, consider turning to the optometry services available from the Arvada Optometric Center in Arvada, CO.

Problems Affecting the Eyes

Although vision is highly developed in humans, the eyes can still experience a variety of problems. Amblyopia, which is a condition often noted in children, results from the inability of the eyes to work together. Those of any age can experience either myopia or hyperopia, which respectively affect the ability to see clearly at a distance or up close. In their later years, men and women often develop even more serious problems. These include macular degeneration, which affects a portion of the eye, and cataracts, which are characterized by clouded spots on the lens of the eye and can also affect one's ability to see clearly. These and other conditions can be dealt with, but they first have to be diagnosed by an eye doctor.

When to Schedule an Eye Exam

Young children should usually be given a vision examination before they enter school. Once they reach adulthood, an exam every five years should be sufficient. In the middle years, vision and other health problems often develop, which is why an eye check every two or three years is advised by most experts. Of course, eye checks should be sought every year by those with a family history of vision problems or such conditions as diabetes. A yearly examination is also needed by those aged 65 and above, even if they seem to have good vision and good general health. An eye doctor can provide the services needed to keep you seeing clearly throughout your life.
