Prevention is the best medicine, and a Comprehensive Eye Exam is no different.

Regular comprehensive eye exams are crucial as they can detect eye problems at an early stage when they are most treatable. They are also important for maintaining overall eye health and ensuring good vision.

Depending on your age, medical history, and any symptoms you have, additional tests may be performed. This could include tests for dry eyes, cataracts, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy.

During your visit, our warm and friendly team is happy to answer any questions you have. Booking an eye exam at Hesla Optometry means supporting your vision, eyes, and general health.

How Often Should You Have an Eye Exam?

Children: First exam at 6 months, then at 3 years, before first grade, and every 2 years thereafter.

Adults: Every 2 years, or annually if you have risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye disease.

Regular comprehensive eye exams are a key part of preventive health care, ensuring both the clarity of your vision and the health of your eyes.
