Regular Eye Exams are an Important Part of Eye Health.

The Canadian Ophthalmological Society is touting the significance eye exams have in maintaining eye health and ensuring proper diagnosis of diseases that cause vision loss.

 

The organization’s Doctor Phil Hooper explains symptoms for major eye diseases that cause vision loss won’t always be present until the disease has advanced.

 

But 75 per cent of vision loss is preventable or reversible if caught early.

 

Hooper says one-in-six Canadians are living with one of the four major eye diseases and are at serious risk of losing their vision.

 

The four diseases are cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy.
