Your eyes are more than just windows to the world; they're vital to your health and well-being. Regular, comprehensive eye exams are essential for maintaining clear vision, detecting eye conditions early, and ensuring your overall health. Don't wait until you notice a problem – proactive eye care is the key to a lifetime of healthy sight.
A comprehensive eye exam goes beyond checking for glasses. It assesses overall eye health and vision. This exam should be done every one to two years, based on age and health. Many eye diseases can start without symptoms and worsen over time, so early diagnosis is crucial to prevent vision loss. At Comly Eye Care, we use advanced equipment for each exam, allowing us to provide accurate prescriptions and find early signs of eye diseases.

Who Needs a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends comprehensive eye exams at the following intervals:
Infants and Toddlers: A first eye exam between 6 and 12 months of age.
Preschoolers: At least one exam between the ages of 3 and 5.
School-Aged Children: Annually. Regular eye exams are crucial for healthy visual development.
Healthy Adults (20-65 years old): Every two years. Even without noticeable problems, routine exams can detect subtle changes in vision and eye health.
Healthy Seniors (65+): Every year and a half. The risk of age-related eye conditions increases with age.
Individuals with Specific Health Conditions: Annually. Certain eye conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration need to be seen at least once per year. Systemic conditions like diabetes can also affect eye health, requiring more frequent monitoring. Please discuss your specific needs with our team.
More frequent exams may be recommended based on your individual eye health needs and risk factors. Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns about your vision, regardless of your last eye exam.
