When to Visit an Ophthalmologist or an Eye Doctor?
In today’s world, with so much exposure to screens, monitors, and various radiation sources, it’s essential to incorporate regular consultations with an ophthalmologist to assess the health of your eye thoroughly once or twice a year. Additionally, if you’re over 40, it’s recommended to have your eyes checked annually to screen for age-related conditions such as cataracts. Regular eye check-ups are crucial if:
You have near-sightedness or far-sightedness and require corrective measures to enhance your vision.
You notice a sudden decline in your vision.
You experience symptoms such as eye pain, itching, or increased tearing.
Between the ages of 1 to 3 years, it’s advisable for children to undergo routine eye examinations. This is because correcting issues such as eye misalignment becomes considerably more challenging after this age.
