A Few Reasons to See Your Eye Doctor
Even if Your Vision is Fine
Visiting the eye doctor every
year may seem unnecessary.
You may think that because
you haven't had any issues,
there's no reason to go.
However, you never know what
might pop up. Your eye doctor
checks your eyes, but in doing
so, he can find out about many
things concerning your overall
health.
For example, an eye doctor
can: Tell if your retinas are at
risk of detaching, meaning
they have pulled away from
your eye.
Tell if your blood pressure is
consistently high, which can
lead to a variety of health
problems.
Find out if you have
chlamydia, gonorrhea, or
syphilis using a "Slit lamp" to
examine your eye tissues.
Determine if you have vitamin
deficiencies. If you're not quite
feeling right, you might have a
vitamin deficiency, and your
eyes will show it.
Tell if you have Macular
Degeneration. This is an
incurable eye disease, and
it's the leading cause of
vision loss.
Tell if have Anemia. This can
cause a lot of discomfort,
including dizziness, a fast or
unusual heartbeat, pain,
shortness of breath, weakness,
and more.
Discover Vasculitis, which is
inflammation of your blood
vessels. Vasculitis can affect one
organ or several. It can cause
organ damage and blindness, and
it’s critical to find it early.
Find tumors. While they aren’t
common in the eyes, if you
have cancer, it’s one more
area to monitor for spreading
or secondary tumors.
