Regular Eye Care and Check Ups: Keys to Preserving Your Sight

It never pays to neglect your eye health. Routine eye exams can help save your sight. At Arena Eye Care Optometry in Sacramento, we encourage our patients to see their Sacramento optometrist on a regular basis for an eye exam. Regular eye care will enable your optometrist to monitor your vision to ensure you’re enjoying optimal sight.

Importance of Regular Eye Care

Annual or biennial eye exams are extremely important for the following reasons:

Improves Vision

Through regular eye exams with Dr. Krister L. Holmberg and Dr. Shephali Patel, you can improve your vision. If you have refractive errors, for example, they will show up in an eye exam so you can get corrective lenses to improve your sight. Our family eye care facility offers quality prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses that will give you optimal sight.

Children, in particular, need quality vision to keep them safe from accidents and help them do well in school. Our optometrists will uncover any vision problems your children may have so that measures can be taken to improve their sight.

Detects Eye Diseases

Many eye diseases don’t have symptoms in their early stages making them difficult to detect on your own. Drs. Holmberg and Patel can diagnose eye disorders and diseases during an eye exam so you can get immediate treatment.

Some diseases like dry eye, age-related macular degeneration, and cataracts are more common to seniors. These diseases can cause deterioration of your sight.  Early detection and treatment of these eye diseases can help prevent vision loss.

Detects Medical Problems

Eye check-ups may also uncover signs of medical conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes. Left unchecked, these diseases can impair your physical health and adversely affect your vision. Early detection of these diseases reduces your risk of vision loss.
