Setting The Foundation For Optimal Eye Health

At South Coast Optometrists, we believe a comprehensive eye exam is the cornerstone of good vision and eye health. Beyond simple vision screenings, our detailed exams assess your visual acuity and overall ocular health. We employ the latest eye care technology to ensure a thorough evaluation, guiding you toward the clearest and most comfortable vision possible.

More Than Just Vision Screening

Our comprehensive eye exams do far more than identify potential vision issues; they are a critical step in keeping your prescription for glasses or contact lenses up to date. Regular exams allow us to fine-tune your prescription, ensuring optimal vision and comfort. These exams also serve as a preventive measure, catching early signs of eye conditions or diseases that could impact your vision and eye health down the line.

How Often Should I See My Optometrist?

• Children: To support their development and learning, children should have their eyes examined at least once between the ages of 3 and 5 and annually once they start school
• Adults: Adults under 60 should aim for an eye exam every two years, provided no vision problems or risk factors exist
• Seniors: Patients over 60 should schedule annual exams to monitor for age-related eye conditions

A Guide to Understanding Vision Risk Factors

Certain conditions and lifestyles can increase the frequency you need comprehensive eye exams. These include:

• A family history of ocular disease (e.g., glaucoma, macular degeneration).
• Managing diabetes or high blood pressure.
• A visually demanding job or one that poses hazards to the eyes.
• Previous eye surgeries or wearing contact lenses.
• Experiencing noticeable changes in vision, including frequent headaches, seeing flashes of light, or difficulty at night.
