You might be surprised to know that there is more to an eye exam than just checking your visual clarity. A comprehensive eye exam is an important part of your overall health.  

What is a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
A comprehensive eye exam is an important part of caring for your overall health, whether you need vision correction or not. By looking into your eyes, your doctor can check for signs of serious health conditions like hypertension and diabetes. 

During a comprehensive eye exam, your eye doctor will look for signs of glaucoma, perform tests to check your vision sharpness, determine your prescription strength, examine how your eyes work together, and check the fluid pressure in your eyes. They may also dilate your eyes to see if you have any eye conditions or signs of other serious health conditions. 

Here are three reasons why you should visit your eye doctor every year:

1. Detects Early Signs of Chronic Diseases like Diabetes. Regular eye exams are critical because what may seem like a vision-related problem might be an indication of a broader health issue.
2. Some Eye Diseases Are Symptom-Free. Getting an annual eye exam can help detect health conditions before they progress and may help preserve your vision.
3. Your Vision Might Not Be as Clear as You Think. You may not notice that your vision changed, but an eye exam can reveal if you need glasses, contacts or an update to your current prescription.
