Baltimore Eye Test
It is very important that people have yearly eye exams to make sure that their eyes are healthy and are remaining disease-free. People come to see us at Quality Optical of Olney so that they can see one of our top-notch optometrists for a
Baltimore eye test to make sure that their eyes are currently healthy.
Since there are many eye diseases and disorders which show no symptoms in the early stages, it is important that patients have annual eye exams to make sure that eye diseases are not developing. For example, if a patient has glaucoma, it is important that it is diagnosed early so that it can be treated in the early stages. When glaucoma is treated early, it can easily be treated with medicated eye drops, and the patient will generally not need to lose any vision to this serious eye disease. However, if a patient does not have an annual eye exam and the glaucoma eye disease is left to progress, the disease will eventually cause permanent damage to the optic nerve. Unfortunately, vision loss to glaucoma cannot be restored. Current treatment options for glaucoma only focus on stopping the disease from progressing any further. In advanced stages of glaucoma, laser treatment or regular eye surgery is needed to achieve this. During our
Baltimore eye test, patients’ eyes are screened for a wide variety of eye diseases and disorders including: glaucoma; cataracts; macular degeneration; diabetic retinopathy; dry eyes; retinal tears; and other problems of the cornea, macula, and retina. Most eye diseases can be diagnosed early before symptoms are readily apparent. And, it is during these times that preventive measures can be taken to keep the patient from having to suffer with losing any of their precious vision.
