  Please bring your current prescription glasses or contact lenses, a list of any medications you are taking, your medical insurance information, and any eye health records you may have. If you're experiencing specific eye problems, it might be helpful to note down their onset and symptoms to discuss during your exam.
  The frequency of eye exams can depend on your age, health, and risk of developing eye problems. Generally, adults should have an eye exam every 1-2 years. Children should have their first eye exam at 6 months of age, another at 3 years old, and then once before they start school. Seniors over 65 should have annual exams. However, if you have specific eye conditions or a family history of eye problems, more frequent exams may be recommended.
  Protecting your vision involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which includes eating a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, and vitamins C and E, wearing sunglasses that block UV rays, using protective eyewear when engaged in activities that could harm your eyes, avoiding smoking, and managing chronic conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Regular eye exams are crucial to detecting eye diseases early on.
  Understanding the roles of eye care professionals can help you choose the right provider for your needs. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor (MD) or doctor of osteopathy (DO) who specializes in eye and vision care, including performing eye surgery, diagnosing and treating eye diseases, and prescribing medications. An optometrist is a healthcare professional who provides primary vision care, ranging from sight testing and correction to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of vision changes; they hold a doctor of optometry (OD) degree but are not medical doctors. An optician is a technician trained to design, verify, and fit eyeglass lenses and frames, contact lenses, and other devices to correct eyesight; they use prescriptions supplied by ophthalmologists or optometrists but do not test vision or prescribe corrective lenses.
