Practice Eye Care Prevention During Healthy Vision Month in May

May was “Healthy Vision Month” and, as such, everyone should consider scheduling an eye exam with their eye doctor. As social distancing policies begin to relax from the Coronavirus (COVID-19), may medical practices are opening up.  If you are having serious issues with your eyes or your vision, you should consult with an eye doctor immediately.

Some individuals take the notion of eye care lightly because of the stigma attached to eyeglasses and other procedures revolving around optical health.

Any LASIK surgeon, however, can tell the skeptics that properly caring for the eyes goes beyond an eye doctor prescribing glasses or contact lenses.

There is also the factor of healthy living overall. Trusted LASIK Surgeons™ seeks to provide you with helpful information and resources you can use to take the next step in improving your vision.

Vision Eye Care Is Not Just for Seniors

Many young adults and middle-aged individuals forgo preventive eye exams because they do not believe that such measures are necessary until after the age of 60. The reality, however, is that eyesight changes with age. Such is the reason why optical professionals encourage individuals between the ages of 18 and 39 to schedule eye exams once every two years.

In addition, as people reach their 40’s, they are more likely to need reading glasses from a condition known as Presbyopia, as their eyes have trouble focusing on reading books and labels.

If you are having trouble seeing objects at a distance, then you should see an expert LASIK surgeon like the ones featured at Trusted LASIK Surgeons™, who can help you determine whether LASIK or another vision correction procedure is best suited to your vision needs.

For Those With Diabetes

Those with underlying health conditions should undergo exams more frequently.

Individuals living with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, in particular, may need additional observations that extend beyond the standard recommendations. Diabetes, when left uncontrolled, can cause damage to the back of the eye that ultimately leads to the destruction of blood vessels. Bleeding ensues from such damage and can eventually cause blindness.

An eye exam at least once per year may be able to prevent blindness as doctors are better capable of tracking changes and prescribing treatment.

Eye Care For The Advanced Stages

There are some instances where even the most aggressive preventive care does not stop the inevitable from occurring. A LASIK or cataract surgeon may be necessary for these instances to correct vision impairment.

A competent LASIK and cataract surgeon can thoroughly explain what vision correction procedures are best suited to you, guide your through the process and provide proper care before and after the procedure you choose to have.

LASIK surgery may not be the ideal choice for all who are facing severe vision impairment. The procedure is, however, an excellent alternative to traditional eye surgery that comes with weeks of recovery. LASIK is less invasive and, thus, maybe a better choice for individuals who still hold mainstream jobs.

People are more likely to get cataracts as they get older and as the cataract worsens they will need cataract surgery.  Most of the LASIK surgeons featured at Trusted LASIK Surgeons are also expert cataract surgeons.
