Vision and Eye Health
Your vision is important. If you have noticed lately that you are unable to see as well, or your vision is blurred, then you may need an eye examination. Sparks & Feros Optometrists can check your eyes for both refractive errors and eye health conditions.
The ability to see clearly and the health of your eyes may change over time. These changes are often so subtle that you may not be aware of them. Accordingly, we recommend that you have your eyes examined every 18 months to two years. In doing so, you ensure your glasses are accurate and that you have taken steps to safeguard against eye disease. Early detection is vitally important in protecting your eyesight from insidious diseases such as glaucoma and macular degeneration.
To ensure your eyes are healthy, we routinely take photos of the back of your eyes. This is called retinal imaging. It is a quick, painless and non-invasive procedure for the detection of a variety of eye conditions and diseases.
We also now offer Optomap® Ultra-Wide Digital Retinal Imaging, which captures a wide-angle view of the back of your eyes, revealing important information for the comprehensive evaluation of systemic and ocular health.
Common Eyesight Problems
During a normal eye examination, our optometrists will check for various eyesight problems including:
Myopia (short-sightedness)
Hyperopia (long-sightedness)
We also carry out a number of tests for insidious eye diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.
