Pediatric Eye Care: Building the Foundation (0 to 17 years)
In the formative years of childhood, vision plays a pivotal role in learning and development. Pediatric eye care isn't just about detecting refractive errors like myopia; it's also essential in identifying potential issues that might hinder a child's academic progress and overall growth. These issues include amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (crossed eyes), which are caused by eye misalignment and result in vision problems, even if a child can see clearly.
We recommend regular screenings for children as early as six months, with follow-ups around the age of three and before starting school. After that, exams are recommended every two years throughout schooling, even if they show no apparent eye problems.
Our pediatric optometrists in Fayette County offer eyeglasses and contact lenses to correct myopia and other refractive errors, whereas vision therapy can correct eye misalignment, allowing children to explore the world confidently.
Adult Eye Exams: Navigating the Prime Years (18 to 40 years)
As we step into adulthood, the demands on our eyes change. Increased screen time, environmental stressors, and lifestyle choices can affect eye health.
Adults aged 18 to 40 should have eye exams every two years unless specific conditions or risk factors require more frequent visits. Comprehensive eye exams in this age group help identify conditions such as digital eye strain or early signs of systemic diseases like diabetes and hypertension. Presbyopia, the gradual loss of close-up focusing ability, can also be detected and treated in individuals 40 and up.
Senior Eye Care: Embrace the Golden Years (40+ years)
With age comes wisdom, experience, and unique eye health challenges. Conditions like presbyopia, cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration have become more prevalent, and regular eye exams are instrumental in the early detection and management of these conditions, preserving vision and independence and enhancing the quality of life.
