Regular eye test do more than establish your prescription for glasses, they play a vital role in early detection of eye conditions, overall health monitoring and ensuring optimal visual performance. One of the primary reasons for regular sight tests is the early detection of diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and may other that can develop slowly without noticeable symptoms in early stages.
