Your Annual Eye Exam, Why It’s Crucial
Annual eye exams from our Fair Lawn optometrist are extremely important to maintain eye health long term. Annual eye exams in Fair Lawn help us promptly diagnose eye diseases or functional problems, with early treatments generally most successful. Even if you think your eyes are completely healthy and your vision is perfect–get your annual eye exam. There may be issues that you won’t notice until your problem reaches a later, less treatable stage. At annual eye exams, our optometrist can also monitor progressive eye conditions like cataracts, and (for example) determine the optimal time for surgery if needed.
