Raleigh, United States - December 21, 2020 /PressCable/ —

The Eye Institute, an eye care center serving Knightdale and Raleigh, North Carolina, has released a list of 10 reasons to visit an eye doctor once a year. A history of perfect vision and no problems doesn’t mean that an issue may not arise in the future. The full list is on the company’s website at https://youreyeinstitute.com/10-reasons-to-see-your-eye-doctor-even-if-your-vision-is-fine.

Several of the most important reasons are:

Retina health. The health of retinas is critical to eyesight. An optometrist can tell if retinas are at risk of detaching, meaning they have pulled away from the eye. If retinas detach, there will be bright flashes of light, more floaters, or a curtain in front of the vision — and then nothing.

Blood pressure. An eye doctor can tell if blood pressure is consistently high, which can lead to a variety of health problems.

Anemia. An optometrist can tell if red blood cell count is low. Anemia can cause a lot of discomfort, including dizziness, a fast or unusual heartbeat, headache, pain, shortness of breath, weakness, cold hands or feet, and more.

Macular degeneration. MD is an incurable eye disease, and it’s the leading cause of vision loss. Scientists are still determining the causes of macular degeneration, but age and genetics play a role.

Diabetes. People with diabetes are at a higher risk of losing their eyesight. People with diabetes should visit the eye doctor each year to make sure their eyes remain healthy.

The Eye Institute wants to make it easy and convenient for people to get the eye care they need. Patient satisfaction and comfort are their number one priorities. Of his experience with The Eye Institute, Will M. shared:

“I left feeling as if I was valued, and that my money was being well spent on something I wanted to spend it on — not something I felt pressured into thinking I needed. The eye exam was by far one of the most involved and well explained I have ever experienced. It was always a clear interest to make sure I was understanding the technical as well as the results of his answer.”
