You use your eyes every day for your entire life. However, too many people neglect regular eye exams. Don't make this mistake. Find an optometrist in Beaumont, like Lone Star Vision, that offers professional and caring services. We are in the business of caring for the vision of all our patients. Let us take care of your eyes, too. 

Why You Need a Good Relationship with Your Eye Doctor

Visiting an optometrist should not only happen when you have a problem with your vision. Eye doctors can spot problems with your health before you have noticeable symptoms. For instance, an optometrist can see signs of diabetes during regular eye exams even if you don't have a primary physician's diagnosis of this condition.

Even if you have good general health, your eyes will change over time. Many eye problems start in adulthood and worsen with age. For instance, cataracts and glaucoma can appear as you get older. While our office routinely screens for glaucoma during regular eye exams, you may consider having optical coherence tomography (OCT) to examine your eyes for signs of diabetes or macular degeneration.

Having routine eye exams also makes it possible for an eye doctor to see if your vision has any changes. While you may not notice subtle changes over time, an optometrist will, based on your previous exam results.
