Do I need an eye exam if I see fine?

Do you know one eye disease that is completely silent until it is very severe?⁠

❓⁠

Glaucoma.⁠

🔻⁠

Glaucoma is a disease that damages your optic nerve. It slowly takes away your peripheral vision and this is never something patients are aware of until it's in the advanced stage.⁠

🔺⁠

How do you prevent this?⁠

Annual eye exams! Prevention is key and annual exams (and sometimes extra testing, like the equipment you see here) is needed to catch early changes.⁠

🔻⁠

I say this all the time but being proactive about your health is much better than being reactive!⁠
