802-748-3536When you are looking for eye care, Shippee Family Eye Care, P.C. in Lancaster, Littleton, St. Johnsbury, and Montpelier offers family pediatrics and eye exams for every member of the family.
Eye exams should begin for children early in their lives. They may not be able to read the eye chart when they are toddlers, but by the time they are ready for school, they should have their first comprehensive exam. This is when you may discover whether they are near or farsighted or have an astigmatism. Good vision is important for school. As an adult, your vision may stay the same for a long time, but as you approach middle age, you may have difficulty reading small print. After this time, you may need to visit more often to continue to see clearly.
Conditions such as lazy eye or crossed eyes are best dealt with as early as possible. They are treatable and even curable. Later, any member of the family may get pink eye. As you age, there are things that can cause you to lose your vision, like macular degeneration, detached retina, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts. The earlier they are diagnosed, the sooner treatment can start. While most of them are not curable, they can be controlled.
Your eyes are the window to your soul, and they're also the window to your health for your eye doctor. When your eye doctor does a comprehensive eye exam, they can see things in the back of your eye that indicate serious illnesses such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and even a brain tumor or aneurysm. The exam could save your life.
