Common Conditions That Can Be Caught During An Eye Exam

Getting a yearly eye exam is something that many people fail to do. It may be not having health insurance that covers eye exams or your just get busy and didn't bother to setup an appointment. This is a big mistake, not only for the health of your eyes, but for your general health. Even if you feel really healthy, there are some conditions that don't have a lot of symptoms and may be lurking in your body without you even know about it. When you get an eye exam, your optometrists get a clear view of your blood vessels, connective tissue and nerves which usually require surgery to view in other parts of the body. When you need to see an optometrist at Epic Vision Eye Centers we have locations in both Kansas and Missouri area here to service you.

Diabetes

Some people have diabetes from childhood, for others, it comes on later in life. It may not be something that is on your mind but can be something that is at work in your body without your knowledge. An optometrist may see signs in your blood vessels that are indicators of the disease.

High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure may also affect the blood vessels in the eye. It can cause them to become crossed or flattened and this so also something that your optometrist can see during a routine exam.

Eye Conditions

The professionals at an optometry Epic Vision Eye Center will look into disease such as glaucoma or cataracts in addition to any changes in your vision. Glaucoma is increased pressure in the eye that can damage the optic nerve. Normally the lens of your eye is clear when it becomes cloudy this is called a cataract. This happens most often in older people but not always, it can occur in the young as well.
