Which type of eye exam do I need?
Routine Eye Health Exams
An eye exam is a routine appointment with your ophthalmologist to check the health of your eyes. Not only does your provider look for the early signs of eye conditions, but they may also update your prescription for glasses or contact lenses. The frequency with which you should get eye exams changes throughout your life. Most adults need a comprehensive eye exam once every 1-3 years, but your ophthalmologist at TRUVISION Eye Center might encourage you to get more frequent eye exams if certain conditions affect your eyes.
Diabetic Eye Exams
Diabetic eye exams are a critical part of health care for people with diabetes. These exams involve a thorough evaluation of your retina and other parts of your eye that can become damaged by diabetes. Having diabetes increases your risk for many eye problems, such as cataracts and glaucoma. However, diabetic retinopathy is the main eye health concern for people with diabetes. Diabetes affects many parts of your body, including your eyes, so routine diabetic eye exams are crucial. TRUVISION Eye Center provides diabetic eye exams, including yearly evaluations, prevention, and treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), also known as macular degeneration, is a common eye disease that causes a loss of central vision. Macular degeneration involves damage to your macula — the part of your retina that lets you see sharp details of objects straight ahead of you. Macular degeneration can cause your central vision to become blurry, and straight lines may appear wavy or distorted. Many people don’t realize they have macular degeneration until their vision gets extremely blurry. ​​​​​​​ During routine exams at TRUVISION Eye Center, Dr. Bui checks your eyes for early signs of disease before you have vision problems. Though macular degeneration doesn’t cause complete blindness, losing your central vision can make it harder to see faces, read, and complete daily activities like cooking. The condition is progressive, which means your vision worsens as your macula continues to deteriorate.
