Routine Eye Exams

Preserve & Protect Your Precious Gift of Sight

It is estimated that one out of every 19 Americans has poor vision as a result of eye disease that has gone undetected. Early diagnosis and treatment are keys to preventing, or minimizing serious vision loss. Regular examinations by our expert doctors at Tri County Eye Institute not only prevent vision loss due to eye disease through early detection, but also can improve the quality of your vision.

Thousands of Americans lose their vision each year simply because they do not know they are suffering from eye disease. Vision problems can occur at any age, but problems typically increase in incidence with age. Just as you would schedule an annual physical, or a trip to your dentist's office, scheduling an annual eye exam can ensure a lifetime of good vision.

Today, thanks to the advances in the treatment of eye disease, nearly all the leading causes of blindness are preventable. Yet, many diseases go undetected and untreated simply because there are no noticeable symptoms. Your good vision can be only be preserved with early diagnosis and treatment. Why not schedule your exam today!

Dr. Schneider recommends using the following guidelines for scheduling eye health examinations for you and your family:

• If you are between the ages of 18 to 40, and once you have an initial exam, you will need to be examined every two years. Anyone in this age group at risk for Glaucoma should be seen annually to monitor for any changes in vision.
  
  
• Once you are 40 years of age, an eye health examination is recommended annually.
  
  
• At age 61 and older, regular eye exams should be scheduled annually

Regardless of your age, any noticeable change in your vision should prompt a call to our office. Our goal is to protect your good vision...for life.

Eye Conditions and Treatments

There are few things in life more precious than our eyesight. Good vision enhances every moment of our lives. Though vision problems may occur at any time, it is often during our adult years that we begin to experience the loss of clear, crisp vision. Early diagnosis, advanced treatments and state-of-the-art technology can save vision and restore sight to eyes which only a few years a go might have been lost to the effects of aging.

Common Vision Disorders

Many of us begin to experience vision problems at an early age. The most common eye disorders, myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism are often detected while we are in grade school.
