How do I know it’s time to visit an eye doctor?

That’s a good question. A lot of people prefer to go once a year. If you are an average adult aged 18 to 60 with no aggravating health conditions, doing a checkup every two years should be fine.

Older people and younger people are at a higher risk of developing conditions, and since many eye problems can be mitigated and even avoided if treatment starts early, these groups should go once a year or more, depending on risk factors and age.

You should also visit your optometrist if you start experiencing symptoms of eye problems. Those include frequent headaches, blurry vision, farsightedness, nearsightedness, double vision, difficulty seeing at night, oversensitivity to light, and squinting constantly, to list a few.

It’s important not to ignore these symptoms, since some of the potential causes for eye problems — such as Glaucoma, for example — are degenerative and can lead to blindness if left untreated. This is why — even if you fear it might be nothing — you should consult with a Vancouver optometrist just to be safe. Visit https://www.mtvieweyecare.com/ if you’d like to make an appointment.
