When was your last eye check-up? Signs that it may be time to get your eyes checked

Ludhiana, Punjab

Many people get their eyes checked only when their spectacles stop working well or their vision becomes blurry. But some eye problems can develop without pain or obvious symptoms. A routine eye examination can help identify problems that may otherwise go unnoticed.

One condition that highlights the importance of regular eye examinations is diabetic retinopathy. It can be present without symptoms in its early stages. People with diabetes should have a dilated retinal examination at least once a year, even when their vision appears normal.

An eye check-up is not only about checking spectacle power. It can also help assess the health of the eyes. People may consider an examination when their spectacle power changes frequently, vision becomes blurred or distorted, or they notice new symptoms such as flashes or floaters.

Children can also benefit from an eye examination when they repeatedly have difficulty seeing the classroom board, reading or doing schoolwork. Changes in vision are not always obvious to parents.

For adults who have worn spectacles or contact lenses for years, an eye examination can also help determine whether vision correction procedures are appropriate. SMILE PRO is a laser-based refractive procedure available as an option for suitable patients. The suitability of any refractive procedure needs to be determined through an appropriate eye examination.

The timing of an eye examination can also be a practical issue for working adults and families. The Thind Eye Hospital Ludhiana branch is open Monday to Sunday, from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm.

People with diabetes should schedule their yearly dilated retinal examination rather than waiting for a change in vision. Anyone experiencing a sudden change in vision should seek an eye examination promptly.
