When to See an Optometrist

You know you need to get an eye exam to ensure your vision is OK, but how often are you supposed to do that? When your eyes just aren't cooperating, and they're itchy and watery, when do you treat them yourself and when do you go get them checked out? When you need to go get your eyes checked depends on what's causing you to think about going to an optometrist, such as Today's Vision Conroe in Conroe, TX, in the first place.

Importance of Eye Exams

If you just need a regular eye exam, you'd want to come in every year for pediatric exams and then every couple of years for adult exams. If you wear glasses or contacts or have an eye condition that needs to be monitored, you'd want to go yearly. If you have an eye condition that is actively being treated, you'll need to discuss with the optometrist how often you'll need to show up.

If you need to see one because you think there's something wrong with your sight or your eyes, then you'd want to just call and make an appointment. Even if you're scared that it might be something serious, call; it's better to find out what's happening now and take care of it instead of letting it fester.

Conditions Treated 

Of course, then you need to know when that something wrong is something that needs to be checked out. If you have pain or irritation, excessive discharge, blurry vision that does not seem to be due to an allergy, spots in your vision, double vision, or anything that prevents you from seeing clearly, you do want to call and make an appointment for as soon as possible. You may also want to see the optometrist if you have allergy symptoms that simply will not get better even with medication.
