Caring for Your Eyes at Every Age: Optometric Guidance Through Life Stages
Infancy and Childhood
Early childhood eye exams are essential to identify conditions like amblyopia (lazy eye) or refractive errors that may impact learning and development. Regular check-ups help ensure any vision issues are addressed early on, promoting healthy growth.
Teenage Years
Teens today spend hours in front of screens, which can lead to digital eye strain and discomfort. Annual eye exams are critical to monitor changes in vision, and lenses with blue-light filters can help reduce strain. For teens involved in sports, shatter-resistant lenses provide added safety.
Adulthood
During adulthood, vision often stabilizes, but regular check-ups remain important to detect any early signs of conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, or diabetic retinopathy. As adults reach their 40s, presbyopia—difficulty focusing on close objects—becomes common, and options like reading glasses or multifocal lenses may be recommended.
Senior Years
Age-related eye conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma become more prevalent in senior years. Comprehensive eye exams help catch these conditions early, allowing for effective management and treatment. Regular monitoring ensures you maintain your best possible vision as you age.
