Eye & Vision Exam: Why Routine Eye Care Matters

When was the last time you had your eyes checked? If you're like many people, it's probably been longer than you'd like to admit. But just like your annual physical, regular Eye & Vision Exams are a vital part of maintaining your overall health. At Shippee Family Eye Care P.C., we proudly serve patients in Lancaster, NH, Littleton, NH, St. Johnsbury, VT, and Montpelier, VT, making it easy to find a trusted optometrist near you.

Why Are Eye & Vision Exams Important?

Your eyes are not only your windows to the world—they also offer a glimpse into your overall health. A comprehensive eye & vision exam can detect early signs of serious conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease. In some cases, it may even help uncover broader health concerns such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

Routine exams are the best way to ensure long-term eye health and avoid complications that could lead to permanent vision loss. Even if you have perfect vision, preventive care is key.

What Happens During an Eye & Vision Exam?

When you visit Shippee Family Eye Care P.C., your exam will include:

●             Visual acuity testing

●             Eye muscle and tracking evaluation

●             Refraction for glasses or contact lens prescriptions

●             Internal and external eye health assessment

●             Eye pressure check for glaucoma

These steps allow us to detect subtle changes and recommend the right treatment or vision correction if needed.

How Often Should You Have an Exam?

For most adults, a comprehensive Eye & Vision Exam is recommended annually. However, children, seniors, and individuals with underlying health conditions may need more frequent monitoring. If you're experiencing blurred vision, frequent headaches, eye strain, or changes in night vision, it's time to schedule an eye exam near you.
