How often should I have an eye exam? Most adults should schedule an eye exam every 1–2 years. Children, seniors, and anyone with vision problems or health conditions like diabetes may need more frequent visits.
What are the signs that I may need glasses? Common signs include frequent squinting, eye strain, headaches, difficulty seeing at night, or trouble focusing on near or distant objects. An eye exam can confirm if you need corrective lenses.
Can children develop vision problems at an early age? Yes. Conditions like myopia (nearsightedness) and amblyopia (lazy eye) often appear in childhood. Early detection through pediatric eye exams is important for healthy visual development.
What is the difference between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist? An optometrist provides primary eye care, including exams, prescriptions for glasses or contacts, and management of eye conditions. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who can perform surgery in addition to providing general eye care.
How can I protect my eyes from digital screen strain? Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. Adjust screen brightness, maintain good posture, and consider blue light–filtering lenses if needed.
What are the best ways to prevent eye diseases as I age? Schedule regular eye exams, eat a diet rich in leafy greens and omega-3s, wear UV-protective sunglasses, and manage chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
Are contact lenses safe for kids and teens? Yes, with proper hygiene and guidance. Many children successfully wear contacts, especially for sports and active lifestyles. Daily disposable lenses are often the easiest and safest option.
What should I do if I suddenly experience blurry vision? Sudden blurry vision can be a sign of a serious issue, such as retinal problems or other eye diseases. Contact an eye doctor immediately for an evaluation.
Why is UV protection important for my eyes? Prolonged UV exposure increases the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration, and other eye conditions. Wearing sunglasses with 100% UVA and UVB protection is essential.
What insurance plans cover routine eye exams and glasses? Coverage varies by plan. Many vision insurance providers include routine eye exams, glasses, and contacts, but coverage for specialty services may differ. Contact Mashpee Vision Care for details on accepted plans.
