Eye Exams & Eye Health Assessments

Comprehensive Exams for the Entire Family

Having a comprehensive eye exam not only ensures you are able to clearly see, but even more importantly it is an opportunity to assess the health of your eyes. Without regular eye check-ups, serious diseases can go undiagnosed. This can lead to a deterioration in vision, and permanent and irreversible damage to your eyes.

Adult Eye Exam

Adult eye exams are more than just about getting an updated prescription, it is about assessing the health of your eyes. Common eye conditions like glaucoma, and macular degeneration can be identified and treated in a timely manner, which can ultimately save your vision.

Adults (19 to 64 years) should get their eyes tested bi-annually
Mature adults (65+ years) should get their eyes tested annually or bi-annually
If you have an eye condition you may need to see an optometrist more regularly. Your comprehensive eye exam will ensure you are taking a proactive approach in prevention, identification, and treatment. It can also detect other life-threatening conditions.

Children’s Eye Exam

Undeniably, vision is a key factor in a child’s learning and development. As a rule of thumb, children should see an optometrist for an eye exam based on the following:

Before the age of one
Between the ages of two to five
Yearly after starting school
Parents cannot rely on their children to tell them their vision is suffering because they just don’t know any better. It is up to us, as parents, to ensure that our children are being appropriately screened for vision issues. The only way to do this is through an eye exam, and watching for signs your child is having trouble seeing.

An eye exam can help identify common vision issues found in children like:

  • nearsightedness (myopia)
  • farsightedness
  • amblyopia (lazy eye)
  • strabismus (cross-eyed)

Early detection allows for appropriate treatment, which can resolve many common eye conditions in children. Find out how MSP covers children’s eye exams.
