Wanna Keep Your Eyesight????????????? Posted: 11-06-03 18:49pm
An eye exam is as crucial as any other
exam! The opt. Doctor checks for all
kinds of eye diseases (glaucoma,
cataracts,etc). Its better to catch
something earlier on, then to find out
years later and you've started loosing
your eyesight. I go every two years.
I've learned as you age, your eyes change!
Have gone from near sighted to far
sighted in 4 years!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a
difference a pair of glasses can
make!!!!!!!! Hope this helps!

You need to get one to see how bad/good
your eyesight is. If you dont, you might
have something wrong with your eyesight
and you dont know because you dont go. It
is very important you go.

Eye Exams Posted: 02-25-04 23:37pm
Once a person reaches the age of 40, he or
she should get their eyes examined once a
year (not once in two years). Glaucoma
tests are usually administered once a year
because the older you get, the more chance
you will develop this disease. I've had
vision trouble all my life so i've
generally gone every single year. My
daughter, however, has better than 20-20
vision and she's under 40 so she only goes
once every few years.
