Why Regular Eye Screening Matters

Many serious eye conditions, including glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, develop without noticeable symptoms in their early stages. By the time vision changes become apparent, permanent damage may have already occurred.

Regular eye screening can detect these conditions early, when treatment is most effective. Early intervention can slow disease progression, preserve your vision, and in many cases prevent blindness altogether.

Globally, the leading causes of preventable vision loss include diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration¹. All three can be identified through routine screening.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, it is recommended to have regular eye screening every 12 to 24 months for early detection.

You may speak to your doctor for a referral to a network of eye specialists. The report you receive will also provide a recommendation on what to do next.

Vision screening, traditionally called an eye test, is a simple test to evaluate your vision and check for simple-to-detect eye problems. It cannot and should not replace a comprehensive eye health screening, an in-depth examination to check for signs of serious eye problems or diseases, such as Diabetic Retinopathy, Glaucoma, Cataracts, etc. These vision-threatening eye conditions may be treated if they are detected early.

Too much screen time can cause dry eyes, eyestrain and discomfort. Some may notice blurred or double vision and eye irritation. It is recommended to look away from the screen every 20 minutes and blink often to keep your eye moist. However, it is unlikely to cause permanent eye damage and is not a factor for development of glaucoma or age-related macular degeneration.
