Since our eyes are vulnerable to a wide range of diseases and conditions, it is important to have an annual eye exam. This also allows our optometrist to check your vision and update your prescription if necessary. Whether you need eyeglasses or contacts, the experts at Absolutely Optical in Tampa, FL, can provide you with suitable treatment that will help correct your vision.

Vision Testing

Vision texting is just part of your eye exam. It will determinbe if your sight is 20/20, which means that you can clearly see small detailed lettering 20 feet away.  If you don’t have 20/20 vision, you may need glasses or contact lenses to help you see more clearly.

Some people have 20/20 vision in just one eye and do not notice the other eye is slowly getting blurry. Everyone should compare the vision between their two eyes to see if there is a noticeable difference. Vision loss can happen gradually, and your prescription may need to be updated. Keeping both eyes correctly focused is important to prevent one eye from becoming lazy. If you visit us each year, we can examine your eyes and provide you with a new prescription if it is needed.

Screening for Eye Diseases

In addition to a vision exam, you are also tested and screened for many serious eye conditions and diseases. One of these is Glaucoma. So, we test your eye pressure; and, if it is too high, we can recommend treatment. When you visit us annually, we can detect any other conditions and diseases early and develop a treatment plan that can slow down the progression. Early detection is essential, as it can help preserve your vision.
