People generally remember the importance of receiving a physical exam at least once a year. However, annual eye examinations often get missed, and patients will let their eyesight and eye health go unchecked until conditions turn into more serious issues. After the age of 40, it is essential to stay on top of your eye care since vision can rapidly deteriorate past this age. At Optometric Images in Dublin, we help our patients preserve their clear vision and eye health with annual eye exams.

Our vision tests use state of the art equipment to determine if prescription lenses are needed and how strong they need to be. Eye functioning tests aim to reveal how accurately your eyes recognize things like depth perception, color, and whether they respond to light correctly. An exam also takes a look at things like peripheral (side) vision, eye muscle strength and eye alignment. Eye pressure is also always measured and we can diagnose eye diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration in their earliest stages.
The power of an eye exam does not end with just diagnosing problems with eye and vision health. It can also lend clues to potential problems with a person’s general health, leading to referrals to their primary care provider for further care. Our eye doctors re8ularly diagnose diabetes and identify autoimmune diseases, blood pressure issues and even cancer.
Early Detection of Dangerous Eye Diseases
Many diseases that can compromise vision loss often do not show early symptoms. These include macular degeneration, cataracts and glaucoma. The longer a condition is left untreated, the harder it is to alleviate symptoms. Our experienced staff can identify many potential problems that can rob you of your vision and eye health.
