Your eyes are very important, but they are also very sensitive as well. In order to make sure that you are completely healthy, it is imperative that you seek regular checkups and screenings on an annual basis unless directed to do so more frequently by a medical professional. Here at Lone Star Vision Associates P.A. our optometrist, Dr. Patel, can provide patients with New Braunfels eye function testing that can help determine whether your eyes are in good health and if there are any issues that you should be aware of.
During a routine physical with your general practitioner, they may ask you to read from a vision chart and they may briefly shine a light into your eyes while they quickly examine them. This is simply to look for any latent issues, but this is by no means a comprehensive eye exam. Here at Lone Star Vision Associates P.A. our expert optometrist, Dr. Patel, can provide patients with complete eye function testing that can provide much more accurate insight regarding the inner workings and health of your eyes. In addition to a vision test, this eye functionality exam will test your depth perception, color vision, eye muscle capabilities, peripheral vision, as well as your responsiveness to light. These tests can help determine whether you may have any underlying condition that might otherwise go unnoticed. There are several eye conditions that do not present readily noticeable symptoms to the sufferer and may only be detected with the help of a comprehensive eye exam. New Braunfels eye function testing can reveal such a disease or condition and bring it to light so that it can be properly diagnosed and promptly treated.
It is recommended that individuals seek out such testing on a fairly regular basis, about once a year or so. For people who live with a medical condition such as diabetes or who have a family history of eye disease, these visits and screenings may need to be more frequent due to a higher risk of developing an eye disease. If you are in need of New Braunfels eye function testing, Dr. Patel is here at Lone Star Vision Associates P.A. to provide you with the complete care that you need.
