Introduction
Many people think they only need an eye test when their vision becomes blurry. But at SpecSMART Eye Clinic Ikeja, we know routine eye exams are crucial for more than just updating your glasses—they play a key role in preserving your overall eye health at every life stage.
Eye Exams: Essential for All Ages
From childhood to senior years, regular eye tests help detect problems early:
-
Children: Eye exams ensure healthy visual development and support school performance.
-
Adults: Exams catch early signs of strain, refractive errors, and medical issues.
-
Seniors: Monitoring for age-related conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration is key.
When Should You Get Your Eyes Tested?
We recommend the following guidelines:
-
Every 2 years for healthy adults
-
Every year for children, seniors, or people with diabetes, hypertension, or family history of eye disease
-
Immediately if you notice blurred vision, eye pain, floaters, or headaches
