But I see well...Should I still get my eyes checked?
Even with 20/20 vision, it’s important to have a periodic eye health assessment. Many vision threatening issues begin without alerting symptoms and at younger ages than most people expect. Glaucoma is especially worrying and isn’t just an old person’s disease. It’s much better to find a retinal hole before it’s a tear and before it becomes a detachment. Timely detection of early pigment changes in the macula can allow specialists to get involved before sight is severely lost to degeneration. Early stages of diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy may not give symptoms. Even side vision loss can be extensive before it actually interferes with life. Wow!
