Comprehensive Eye Exams in South Fort Myers
Eye Exams
Every Year
We recommend a yearly eye exam after 40; as you will experience changes in near-vision. Presbyopia is an aging condition in which your focusing mechanism slows down. These changes happen every year until you are in your late 40s. Then At 50 yrs, little changes in the crystalline lens start to happen, known as nuclear sclerosis, which really is the precursor to cataracts. something we will keep an eye on.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eye Exams.
I see okay. Do I need an Eye Exam?
The short answer is yes. Everyone should have a Comprehensive eye exam periodically to determine if their eyes would benefit from eyeglasses. Also, the eye's health is important as silent diseases can rob your sight without warning. Glaucoma is one of many silent diseases.

I had cataract surgery or Lasik to correct my vision. I see fine... will I need to have eye exams after the surgery?
Yes, success in surgery is often said that you do not depend on glasses. The keywords are "depend on". The fact is that many post-surgery patients do need a small degree of correction, and this is the difference between seeing a blurry 20/20 or a crisp and clear one. Also, the health of your eye changes as time progresses. In essence, the surgery only improves the quality of your vision, but it does not stop aging and silent eye disease, Exams should be yearly after most surgeries.
My ophthalmologist told me the reason for my blurry vision is that I have Cataracts. I need cataract surgery, so he said no glasses change. I need to wait until the end of the season, what can I do?
The power of your refractive error will continue to change as the cataract gets worse, but If you are going to wait, you should update the glasses, if there is an improvement to be made. If your surgeon did not give you a prescription, our optometrists can retest you and see if there is an improvement, that way you can see your best until you are ready for your surgery.
I have been wearing Contact Lenses for years. Do I need a contact lens fitting? If you need a script for contact lenses, then you need a "contact lens exam". Federal and State law requires an eye exam in order to give you a contact lens script. A Contact Lens exam is a Comprehensive Eye Exam along with Contact lens Services included.
