Your Health Depends on Getting Answers to Your Questions
Testing helps give you the answers you and your doctor need to make decisions about your care.
Before your doctor can make decisions about your eye health, you need answers.
And the sooner the better because 70% of medical decisions are based on testing results. When your doctor finds signs of eye disease, they will refer you to the Eye Testing Specialists for further testing.
Here are SOME reasons you may need to get eye testing:
Ocular Symptoms
If you have vision changes or vision symptoms, you may need eye testing. Blurred vision is the number one reason for seeking eyecare.
If you vision has changed, alert your eye doctor or medical doctor and they can refer you to the Eye Testing Specialists for testing.
Eye Disease
Your doctor may have found signs of eye disease that require further testing. Specific eye tests are performed based on the condition you are being referred for. Many eye conditions require testing, even if you have no symptoms.
Eye Conditions that require eye testing include Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy, and Hypertension Retinopathy, to name a few.
Chronic Systemic Medical Conditions
Many chronic, systemic medical conditions can affect the health of the eye and progress over time. Regular eye testing assures you are being closely monitored for changes so treatment can be started immediately.
Medical conditions such as Diabetes, Hypertension, Arthritis, Thyroid disease, certain Medications, and more, affect the health of your eyes.
Medications
Many medications have ocular side effects or toxicity. These medications are necessary to treat medical conditions, but can be toxic to the eye. Your medical doctor may require you to have your eye health tested to rule out any damage to the eye.
When damage to the eye is found during testing, your doctor will be notified so they can change or discontinue your medication.
The Eye Testing Specialists will test the health of your eyes specifically for your medical or eye condition. This will allow detection of any eye disease or damage caused by the medical condition or medication you are taking.
The test results are reported to your doctor so they can start treatment and/or make adjustments to your medication. Knowing the test results and the condition of your eyes permits the doctor to make changes and start treatment earlier, resulting in better outcomes of your eye health and vision.
