Benefits of regular eye examination

Continuous eye check-ups are considered among the most important things that every individual should follow, whether they suffer from vision problems or not, because vision issues are not limited only to farsightedness, nearsightedness, or astigmatism. Also, regular eye examination can help enhance the eye health and the general health of the patient, as an eye exam can be an indicator of many other eye problems before they appear. Furthermore, eye examinations can prevent many potential complications that affect eye health and vision levels, which could potentially reach the point of cataracts, glaucoma, or clouding of the eye lens.

The periodic duration for eye examination

Doctors advise the necessity of conducting a regular eye examination annually, not only to protect vision but to maintain general health, especially if you have a family history of diabetes or high blood pressure; in such cases, you may need more frequent examinations

When should the eye be examined more than once?

  • Patients who wear contact lenses and medical glasses.
  • Patients who have a medical history related to the eyes.
  • Patients taking medications that have side effects on the eye.
  • Diabetic patients to monitor the retina.
  • The elderly.

 

Most important tests required for the regular eye examination

  • Vision Measurement

 Vision is measured within an integrated treatment unit equipped with the latest medical technologies and devices to confirm the strength of vision and determine whether the patient needs to wear medical glasses or contact lenses.

  • Intraocular Pressure Measurement

 Dr. Abdulrahman Shams measures eye pressure to detect any signs indicating high intraocular pressure, aiming to prevent various eye diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts.

  • Lens Examination 

The eye lens is examined to ensure there are no medical changes in the lens that indicate the presence of eye diseases.

  • Posterior Eye Examination 

The back of the eye is examined within an integrated treatment unit using high-tech medical devices and techniques to ensure there are no problems in the retina or blood vessels.
