Comprehensive Eye Care

Comprehensive Eye Care with Vision Professionals of Leawood

Comprehensive eye care is an important part of maintaining one's overall health and wellness. There are many conditions that can be detected during an eye exam that may not have been noticeable otherwise. It is important to start seeing an eye doctor from a young age because of the importance of protecting and caring for your eyesight. When children begin vision care at a young age they are more likely to continue proactively caring for their eyes throughout their lives.

Conditions that Comprehensive Eye Care Can Detect and Treat

If you are getting older, or have a family history of certain eye conditions, comprehensive eye care becomes even more important. Diabetes and certain heart conditions are often first detected during a regular eye exam, and this early detection can make a significant difference in the effectiveness of your subsequent care. Additionally, there are several eye conditions whose symptoms do not always show up until the disease has progressed into the later stages. 

Serious eye conditions such as Glaucoma, Cataracts, and Macular Degeneration are often detected during an eye exam before any symptoms are apparent. Another important aspect of eye care is maintaining the appropriate prescription for your corrective lenses. As you age or make changes in your lifestyle, your vision can change, making it important to receive regular exams from your eye doctor. 

Sports enthusiasts must also take preventative measures to ensure that they keep their eyes protected during play in order to minimize the chance of injury. As people embrace more active lifestyles, sports vision techniques and treatments are also gaining in popularity. It is fascinating to learn more about how your brain and eyes communicate, and the vision skills you can strengthen in order to improve your on-field performance and overall coordination.
