I'm An Eye Surgeon Today, But I'm Open To Acting Too
The 'Little' Hrithik Roshan In Krrish Is Now An Eye Surgeon
Most people only visit an eye doctor when something feels wrong — blurry vision, a painful eye, or a failed driver's licence test. But here's the thing: many serious eye conditions develop silently, with no noticeable symptoms until significant damage has already occurred. Regular eye exams are one of the most important preventive health steps you can take.
Recommended Eye Exam Frequency by Age
- Children (6 months to 5 years): At least one exam before starting school. Vision problems left undetected can affect learning and development.
- Children (6–18 years): Every one to two years, or more frequently if glasses or contact lenses are prescribed.
- Adults (18–60 years): Every two years if you have no vision problems. Annually if you wear corrective lenses or have risk factors.
- Adults 60 and older: Every year. The risk of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts rises significantly with age.
Who Should Come in More Often?
You should book a comprehensive eye exam more frequently if you:
- Have a family history of glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetic eye disease
- Are diabetic or have high blood pressure
- Work at a computer for more than 6 hours a day
- Take medications known to affect vision
- Have previously had eye surgery or eye injuries
What Happens During a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
A full eye exam at Dr. Mickey's Eye Care Centre goes far beyond reading a chart on the wall. We check visual acuity and refractive error (the need for glasses or contacts), eye pressure (a key glaucoma indicator), the health of your retina, optic nerve, and lens, colour vision, peripheral vision, and eye muscle coordination.
Early detection is everything. Glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration can all be caught and managed before they cause irreversible damage.
