Does Clear Vision Mean Your Eyes Are Healthy?

Clear vision does not always mean your eyes are free from disease. Silent eye problems can begin at the edges of the retina or in microscopic blood vessels without affecting central vision at first, developing quietly. By the time vision weakens, the damage may have reached an advanced stage that is harder to treat.

Annually: - Healthy individuals over 40 years of age. - All patients with diabetes, high blood pressure, or other chronic conditions. - Severe myopia (short-sightedness) cases.

Every 3 to 6 months: - If diabetic retinopathy or any other retinal changes are present (depending on the case).

Immediately: - If you notice floaters, sudden blurriness, severe glare, dark spots blocking vision, or loss of part of your visual field.

Remember, your eyes are your window to the world, so protect them with regular checkups.
