Vision Care for the Whole Family
At Professional Eyecare, we stress the importance having an annual eye exam. Eye exams are an invaluable tool in maintaining healthy eyes by detecting and preventing disease. Some diseases develop slowly without causing pain or vision loss. Early detection of problems can reduce the risk of further harm and allow for a choice of treatment options. Our doctors pride themselves on providing professional, personalized vision care to all our patients.

Exams are just the beginning...
Whatever your age, the best thing you can do for your eyes is maintain regularly scheduled eye examinations with an experienced optometrist.
Patients who are at a higher risk for certain conditions, such as diabetes, a family history of glaucoma, and those over the age of 40, should have exams more frequently. Remember that caring for your eyesight begins with eye examinations. They are the best way to detect eye conditions early and address them before they develop into more severe problems.
Young children should receive their 1st eye exam at 6 months old, at 3 years of age, just before they enter kindergarten, and each year while in school.
