New Rochelle Eye Examinations
There isn’t anything routine about receiving your annual eye examination and eye health evaluation at Optical Visit in New Rochelle. A comprehensive eye wellness and vision evaluation is the foundation of maintaining healthy eyesight throughout your lifetime. During this simple and painless evaluation with our optometrists, we will review your eye and medical records, paying specific attention to your family history as many eye diseases are hereditary. For the visual assessment part of an eye exam, our eye doctors will measure your visual skill, eye muscle balance, color vision, and visual field. Other tests are aimed at diagnosing various eye diseases, including cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration, age-related eye diseases which cause varying degrees of vision loss and blindness in their more advanced stages. These three eye diseases are serious threats to your vision as you grow older and must be diagnosed early in order to prevent unnecessary vision loss. The last portion of the New Rochelle eye exam at Optical Visit will also assess your overall nutrition and wellness, which can strongly impact your eye health. Whether you’re diabetic, a smoker, or severely overweight, our eye doctors can inform you about your increased risks of developing eye diseases and conditions.
