Vision Care (Functional Vision Care)New Rochelle, NY
While people may seek regular physical examinations for their physical health or regular dental checkups for their teeth, they are less likely to seek regular checkups for their eyes. Without proper vision care and regular appointments, there is a higher chance of a vision issue or condition going undetected. Due to that, people will risk serious or even permanent damage to their eyes.

As an optometrist and ophthalmologist, we can provide the necessary examination to detect any eye issues that may be present. This can help treat any current issues and prevent further issues down the line. Additionally, healthy eyes feel more comfortable and allow people to see and function better each day.
A lesser-known benefit of vision care, good eye health can help treat frequent headaches and other general health concerns. The days of going through life with red, dry eyes that are unattractive are over, and you can keep your eyes healthy and looking great through routine vision checkups.
When to visit the optometrist for Vision Care
One of the more frequently asked questions when it comes to vision care has to do with how often one needs to visit the optometrist for routine care. The answer to this question varies per person. However, in most cases, an annual checkup is recommended for people who struggle with vision issues.
There are several factors to consider when seeking vision care, including the age, previous eye health and hereditary factors of the patient. Young and middle-aged adults who have not had many, if any, eye complications in the past may only need vision care check-up and treatment every two years, whereas older adults or those who have had eye problems in the past may need to have their vision and eye health checked annually.
As far as vision is concerned, it is important to schedule an appointment with an eye professional anytime signs of poor vision exist. These signs can include blurred vision when close to an object(farsightedness), far away from an object(nearsightedness) or vision that is not clear regardless of distance(astigmatism).
The Vision care Process
The vision care process for each patient is different and depends largely on whether or not they have symptoms of poor vision or eye problems. However, the process for most patients often involves the following:
Of course, not every patient who comes in for a vision care check-up requires treatment. Oftentimes, educating the person on how to maintain good vision through lifestyle choices and a daily care routine is enough. Although instances where a vision issue or general eye health problem is discovered, there are various treatment options available.
These options may include prescription glasses, specialty contact lenses or medication. Since each patient is unique, the needs of each patient will be different.
