Pediatric Eye Exams

Regular eye exams are important for children since their eyes can change significantly in as little as a year as they develop. Good eyesight is critical for a child’s ability to learn and thrive. School demands intense visual involvement, including reading, writing, using computers, and blackboard/smartboard work. Even physical activities and sports require strong vision. If their eyes are not working well together or the vision is poor, a child may feel tired, get headaches, have trouble concentrating, or underperform in school.

Glaucoma

Many people think glaucoma is one type of ocular disease. However, it’s a group of diseases that cause damage to the optic nerve. The most common type of glaucoma occurs in the setting of elevated eye pressure, but there are types of glaucoma that can develop even when the eye pressure is within a normal range.  There are no signs or symptoms until the advanced stages, so the only way to know if you are at risk of developing glaucoma is to have regular eye exams.

Eye Emergencies

Common eye emergencies include; trauma, cuts, scratches, foreign objects in the eye, burns, chemical exposure, and blunt injuries to the eye or eyelid.

Since the eye is easily damaged, serious complications can occur from an eye injury thus, any of these conditions without proper treatment can lead to a partial loss of vision or even permanent blindness. Likewise, certain eye infections, other medical conditions, such as blood clots or glaucoma, and eye problems such as a painful red eye or vision loss that are not due to injury also need urgent medical attention.

Diabetic Eye Exams

You have almost certainly heard of diabetes, which is one of the most common chronic health conditions in the United States with an estimated 100 million adults currently living with diabetes or pre-diabetes. This metabolic disorder occurs when the body is no longer able to regulate its own blood sugar levels and requires intervention to keep them stable. Most people are aware that diabetes can have serious consequences for our health. However, you may be surprised to learn that it can also affect our vision. This is because patients who are diabetic can go on to develop a complication that is known as diabetic retinopathy. Without prompt treatment, diabetic retinopathy can cause permanent vision loss. It is for this reason that patients who suffer from diabetes are asked to attend regular diabetic eye exams.
