Just like your routine physical and regular dental cleanings, your eyes need regular care, too. With over 20 years of experience, Nicanor Lacsina, O.D., and Yelena Pinkhasova, O.D., know firsthand the importance of wellness eye exams for adults and children.
If you’re due for an exam, why not tie it into your New Year’s resolutions? Here are five reasons to kick off 2024 with a wellness eye exam at Bainbridge Eye Care in the Norwood neighborhood of Bronx, New York City.
Many people make New Year’s resolutions to help set their proverbial visions for the upcoming year, but don’t neglect your literal vision! Starting the year with an updated prescription or addressing any emerging vision issues sets the stage for clarity and focus in all your endeavors in 2024.
Regular exams are especially important for children who may not realize or verbalize that their prescriptions have changed throughout the year.
Thanks to our on-site lab 一 featuring the highest quality materials like durable Trivex® lenses or Crizal ® lens coatings 一 and our large selection of contact lenses, you can see clearly in no time.
Early detection is key when it comes to eye conditions. A wellness eye exam at Bainbridge Eye Care can uncover signs of potential issues, such as glaucoma, cataracts, or macular degeneration, before they progress. Timely intervention can be instrumental in preserving your vision.
Your exam can also spot the signs of eye allergies. While eye allergies won’t decrease your vision like other eye conditions can, they are uncomfortable. In conjunction with lifestyle changes like avoiding your triggers, the correct treatment can help reduce bothersome symptoms like itchy, watery eyes.
Screen time is virtually unavoidable in today’s digitally focused world, but that doesn’t mean you’re stuck with digital eye strain. Whether you work remotely or use a tablet for reading each night, Dr. Lacsina and Dr. Pinkhasova can help you adopt eye-friendly habits to reduce digital eye strain symptoms, such as dry eye and redness. This advice may include prescribing specialized lenses or recommending ergonomic adjustments to your screen.
Your eyes offer valuable insights into your overall health, and surprisingly, a dilated eye exam can spot the red flags for over 20 different health conditions, including:
Spotting these issues as soon as possible means you can get started with any potential treatments quickly. In other words, scheduling your eye exam is beneficial for your eyes and good for your entire body.
