How often should I have an eye exam?

When should I have an eye exam?

IF you are wearing glasses or contacts lenses, and aged 61-years and older, you should see your eye doctor every year or as recommended by Eye-Care Professional. 
If no vision correction is required, and you are between 18 to 60 year-old you should have your eye exams every two years.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are around 285 million people in the world who are visually impaired. WHO estimates that up to 80 percent of all visual impairment can be avoided or cured through early treatment.

The leading causes of visual impairment occur naturally with age. About 65 percent of all people who are visually impaired are aged 50 and older.

Many eye health and vision problems occur naturally with age and with no obvious signs or symptoms. The most important way to prevent eye health issues from becoming unmanageable is by scheduling an annual exam with your eye doctor. More than 80 percent of all visual impairment is treatable, preventable or curable, so early diagnosis and care are critical.

20/20 vision is a measure of one's visual acuity and indicates how clearly we see objects on an eye chart at 20 feet. The eye chart contains images, usually letters or pictures, of a very specific size gradually getting smaller near the bottom of the page.

For people with 20/20 vision, light focuses perfectly on the retina to provide clear vision.
If your visual acuity test determines you have 20/20 vision, it means you can clearly see what a person with normal vision should be able to see from 20 feet away.

Seeing: Eyes and Vision.
Educational concepts include visual acuity, near vision, far vision, visual defects, color vision, and low-light vision.

Your Vision.
Your visual acuity at 20 feet helps to determine whether you need glasses or contacts for distance vision.

Your vision may include:
Myopia (Nearsightedness or Shortsightedness)
Hyperopia (Farsightedness or Longsightedness)
Astigmatism
Presbyopia. Close-up vision or “near vision”
Depth perception
Peripheral vision (seeing to the sides)
The ability to see colors

It's important to have regular eye exams even if you think you have 20/20 vision and that your eyes are healthy.

SIGHT Is the most important senses.

OUT of the five senses, Sight is the Most Important.

IT is the primary method in which we observe and learn. Good sight is crucial to education.

Children: POOR Vision raises the risk of failing A Grade.The risk of failing one grade is more than 3 times for school children who have a Visual Acuity below 20 / 20 versus children with good visual acuity.**

Fact: 80% of what children learn is acquired through the Visual Processing of information.

Uncorrected Vision Among Children is 30% of children have eyesight problems. That could impact Negatively on their Health, Integration into society and Progress at school. Resulting in anti-social and delinquent behaviour that leads to juvenile offenses.

A simple eye exam can help detect uncorrected vision problems. Clear vision enables children to focus in the classroom and will help them perform better in their studies.

Eye on Normal Vision or 20/20 Vision.

Visual acuity (VA) is acuteness or clearness of vision, which is dependent on the sharpness of the retinal focus within the eye and the sensitivity of the interpretative faculty of the brain.

Vision or Visual Acuity (VA) is tested by reading a Snellen eye chart at a distance of 20 feet (6 meters).

The eye doctors have decided what a "normal" human being should be able to see when standing 20 feet away from an eye chart.

If you have 20/20 vision, that means when you stand 20 feet away from the chart, you can see what a "normal" human being can see. In other words, if you have 20/20 vision your vision is "normal". Many people can see what you can see at 20 feet.

If you have 20/40 (6/12) vision, that means when you stand 20 feet away from the chart you can only see what a normal human can see when standing 40 feet from the chart.

If  Visual Acuity is 20/100 means that when you stand 20 feet from the chart you can only see what a normal person standing 100 feet away can see. For those with 20/200 vision is considered to be legal blindness in the United States.

You can also have vision that is better than the norm. A person with 20/10 vision can see at 20 feet what a normal person can see when standing 10 feet away from the chart.

An eye exam seeks to find the prescription that will provide you at least 20/20 or 6/6 vision.
