Optometrist at Invision Optical
An optometrist is a primary eye care provider who is licensed and university educated as a doctor of optometry, to examine the eyes, diagnose defects in vision, signs of injury and ocular diseases or other disorders of the eye and visual system. In doing so, optometrists may prescribe medications, fit and supply corrective lenses or contact lenses, or other therapies and provide referrals to other health providers, when appropriate. When you are needing to see an optometrist for your vision issues, we recommend that you consider Invision Optical today! Read on for information about the benefits of seeing an optometrist on a regular basis.
Regular Checkups:
Depending on the general health condition of a patient, their family health history and age, the duration between visits to the optometrist for regular checkups might vary. People with healthy vision as well as those who only require adjustments to their eye glasses might need to visit an optometrist once a year. Older patients or those with an eye disease might be advised to see their eye doctor more frequently. Obvious signs that you should see an optometrist include issues such as eye infection, pain in the eye area or blurry vision. If you experience any of these issues, you should schedule an appointment with a doctor of optometry to get help. Heavy squinting and headache are in most cases signs that you might be having an eye problem and that immediately attention is needed.
Prevention:
Visiting an optometrist regularly throughout a patient’s life is essential for prevention of potential eye diseases from developing into serious infections or even loss of eyesight. With regular visits to the optometrist, you can maintain optimal vision throughout your life. This will help you enjoy life more as you get to enjoy the beauty of life.
Maintain Optimal Eye Health:
When people are in their senior years, it is very common for their vision to start to deteriorate resulting in more instances of blurry vision, night blindness and at times, confusion. At this stage of life, particularly people who have been diagnosed with vision problems before, or those who wear eyeglasses, should see an optometrist regularly to maintain optimal eye health. Your optometrist in Bedford might even recommend vitamin supplements to maintain good vision health.
