The Examination

Regular eye examinations are an important part of maintaining good health. Some eye conditions may not present any symptoms, or you may not link a particular problem to your eyes, so a thorough evaluation by your eye doctor could help prevent serious conditions.

Some medical conditions such as arthritis, diabetes and heart disease, as well as certain medications, can affect eye health. It is important to discuss your medical history, and medication that you are taking with your eye doctor in order to receive proper treatment.
