- Kids
For Kids, regular eye exams are important because 80% of what a child learns by age 12 is obtained visually. Yet seven out of ten school-age children who have problems reading have some kind of visual impairment.
- Teens
There is a significant relationship between undetected vision problems, reading and learning difficulties. Problems in school affect not just learning, but also a young person's self image, and that can translate to problems throughout life.
- Age 18 - 39
At this stage, there is a trend toward heavy contact lens use. Remember, in most cases, contact lens wearers should still allow 4 to 6 hours of rest for their eyes to get the oxygen they require.
- Age 40+
Once you hit 40, your vision begins to change. Even if you never needed glasses before, you'll soon need some sort of vision correction to help you read.
- Seniors
One in every three seniors has a vision impairing eye disease, but most aren't aware of any symptoms until the disease has progressed to the point that treatment options are limited. However, regular eye exams can detect them much earlier.
