Ensuring Healthy Eyes

Comprehensive Eye Exams in Abbotsford

A comprehensive eye exam is a thorough evaluation of your vision and eye health conducted by a qualified optometrist at our eye clinic in Abbotsford. Unlike a simple vision screening, which might only check how well you see at a distance, a comprehensive eye exam assesses various aspects of your vision and the overall health of your eyes.

Annual eye exam appointments are recommended for children and adults over 65, while those aged 19-64 should schedule a vision exam every two years. If you have diabetes, an annual eye examination is advised. Depending on your individual health conditions, your optometrist may recommend more frequent eye checks.

Our optometrists will update your prescription for glasses, and make sure your eyes are in optimal health.

Importance of Annual Eye Exams

Annual eye exam appointments are important for everyone, as they help maintain good vision, update prescriptions, and monitor for signs of both eye-specific and systemic health issues. Regular eye examinations are key to preserving your vision and overall eye health throughout your life.

Early Detection of Eye Diseases

Many eye conditions, like glaucoma or macular degeneration, develop slowly and without noticeable symptoms in the early stages. An annual eye examination can detect these issues early, when treatment is most effective.

Adapting to Age-Related Changes

As we age, our eyes naturally change, and the risk of certain eye diseases increases. Regular eye tests in Abbotsford help manage these changes and keep your eyes healthy.

Updating Prescriptions

Your vision can change over time, even if you don’t notice it. Regular eye exam appointments ensure that your glasses or contact lenses are up to date, providing you with the best possible vision.

Children’s Eye Health

For children, yearly vision exams are crucial for detecting vision problems that could affect learning and development. Early detection and correction of issues like lazy eye (amblyopia) can prevent long-term vision problems.

Overall Health Monitoring

The eyes can reveal signs of systemic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and even some cancers. A comprehensive eye exam supports your overall health care routine.

Prevention of Vision Loss

By catching conditions early with regular eye exams, you can take steps to prevent or minimize vision loss, helping you maintain good vision throughout your life.

Myopia Control

Understanding Nearsightedness

Managing Myopia

Myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness, is a refractive error where distant objects appear blurry while close objects are seen clearly. This occurs when the eyeball is too long, or the cornea is too curved, causing light to focus in front of the retina instead of directly on it.

Myopia is becoming increasingly common worldwide, particularly among children and young adults. By 2050, it’s estimated that nearly half of the global population will be myopic, making it a significant public health concern.

Symptoms of myopia often include blurry vision when looking at distant objects, frequent squinting, headaches, and eye strain.

Causes and Risk Factors

Myopia often has a genetic component, as it tends to run in families, while environmental factors such as increased near work and limited outdoor time, combined with lifestyle changes that emphasize indoor activities and screen time, contribute to the rising prevalence of this condition.

Myopia Control Strategies

Effective myopia control strategies aim to slow the progression of myopia and reduce its impact on visual health through various interventions and lifestyle adjustments.

Spectacles and Contact Lenses

Specially designed myopia control lenses, such as dual-focus or multifocal contact lenses, can slow the progression of myopia by changing the way light is focused on the retina.

Orthokeratology (Ortho-K)

This involves wearing specially designed rigid contact lenses overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea and reduce myopia during the day.

Atropine Eye Drops

Low-dose atropine drops have been shown to slow the progression of myopia in children.

Lifestyle Modifications

Encouraging children to spend more time outdoors and reducing prolonged near work can help slow the development of myopia.
