Optometrists undergo years of study and specialized training. They develop a comprehensive understanding of how to evaluate your eyes not only for sight, but for any underlying conditions. In fact, vision and health are closely linked. Comprehensive eye exams enable Dr. John Scaramia to detect signs of diseases that may affect your entire body, but which show early signs in your eyes.
These include:
- Hypertension
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Strokes
- Sjogren's syndrome
- Neurological diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS) or a brain tumor
Safeguard Your Eyes and Sight
A comprehensive in-person eye exam is the only way to determine whether your eyes are healthy and free from sight-threatening conditions. Early detection and treatment of these problems can potentially prevent vision loss. Eye care practitioners frequently discover an infection, chronic illness or eye disease during what patients would have expected to be a simple, routine ocular exam. These scenarios are far more common than we’d like to imagine.
