Annual Eye Exams
Mooresville, NC
We’re proud to provide annual eye exams for patients of any age in Mooresville, NC, and Newton, NC.
Annual eye exams are part of taking care of your long-term health. Vision changes over time, from early childhood to adulthood and beyond, so having your annual eye exams on time can help in many ways. First, identifying changes in your eyesight helps keep your prescription up to date to give you better vision year-round.
Annual eye exams can also help identify potential long-term health issues like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, cataracts, and other vision-related issues.
Also, we can discuss what type of vision correction might work best for you in your current situation. Glasses and contacts are popular methods for vision correction, but your annual eye exams are the perfect time to talk with your optometrist about whether LASIK is an option for you.
