Your doctor will examine you and determine if your eyes are healthy. They will also determine what is causing your symptoms. Dozens of tests are available, depending on your needs. So, if you want to protect your vision and prevent various uncomfortable conditions, make sure you visit an eye doctor periodically.

Good post. Some parents don’t realize that children eye exams every year are so vital. Some children do not realize their eye sight is distorted, so they end up making their sight worse. I can remember in the 7th grade not being able to see the overhead projector clearly, so I asked my teacher to adjust it. All of the other kids in the class could see the material fine. I went down the contacts route since I was older.

This is completely true — I vividly remember doing badly in school for several months as a kid because my vision was bad but I didn’t know any better. I was embarrassed to be doing badly, but it never crossed my mind that it was because of my vision.
