Eye and Vision Exams

The Importance of an Annual Eye Exam from Family Eye Health & Contact Lens Center

At Family Eye Health & Contact Lens Center, we want everyone in the Lisbon, Sabattus, and Greene areas to have the tools necessary to take care of their own eye health. To that end, we encourage everyone to get eye exams on a regular basis. There are a number of reasons why an eye exam is so important. We want all of our patients to know exactly why.

Why Are Annual Eye Exams Important?

At Family Eye Health & Contact Lens Center, we believe that the best medicine is preventative medicine. That is the purpose of the annual eye exam. There are several reasons why annual exams matter. 

Catch Problems Early:  One of the most important reasons why patients need to have an annual eye exam is that there might be an opportunity to catch certain diseases before symptoms arise. Having an annual eye exam might allow someone to preserve their vision.

Update Prescriptions: First, an annual eye exam is important because it gives us the opportunity to update someone's prescription. As people get older, particularly children who are still developing, their eyes change. When this happens, their eyeglasses prescription may also need to be updated. An annual eye exam helps us keep you seeing clearly.

New Treatment Options: Over time, there has been a lot of research conducted in the field of optometry. As a result, there have been advancements in available treatment options. We want all of our patients to have access to the latest treatment options in the field. We know that our patients deserve the best.

At Family Eye Health & Contact Lens Center, our goal is to do more than help you take care of your eyesight. Let’s start with a thorough eye exam, we’ll guide you through the process, and finish with a conversation about your options.
