The eyes are sensitive organs that are susceptible to injury and other health-related issues. Yet, far too often, people ignore taking the necessary steps to protect their eyes through routine eye exams. Do not put off seeing the eye doctor. Instead, make an appointment with Shermin Lahijana OD, Hollywood Optometrist in LA. We are dedicated to providing our patients the care they need to maintain their vision and eye health for years to come. Here's what you need to know about routine eye exams and why they're so important.

Why You Need Routine Eye Exams 

It is essential to have a routine eye exam to help check your visual functions and proximal vision. Our optometrist can help determine if eyeglasses are needed or if another form of vision correction is necessary. Additionally, since many eye diseases do not have symptoms in their early stages, our eye doctor can diagnose eye conditions and provide treatment to keep your eyes healthy before serious symptoms set in. Our optometrist can also diagnose general health conditions, including certain cancers, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

Importance of Family Eye Care 

Family and pediatric eye care are essential to help ensure your family's overall health and wellness. Additionally, routine eye exams ensure your children can see clearly, allowing them to see the boards in school, read, and work on the computer. Routine eye exams help with the overall success of your children in school, sports, and extracurricular activities.
