Have you ever experienced being blind for a moment? What do you feel when you can’t even see anything? Or have you been in a very dark place wherein you can’t see because of the darkness?

Your eyes are the light of your body, you can’t move freely if your eyes are blinded or if you are gradually losing your sight. That is why; an eye check up is a must. People are afraid of having their eyes checked, but you don’t have to worry because here are some tips on how to prepare for an eye checkup.

Evaluate yourself

Regular eye checkup must be done every 2 years for people having an age of 18 to 60 years old. Normally, a person with hereditary eye problems needs to have an eye examination even before the child reaches 18 years old. The family needs to be conscious about their children if they have acquired the family’s eye disease. Those persons with diabetes, high-blood pressure, persons with a visually demanding occupation, and persons with eye injuries or surgery need to have a frequent eye checkup.

You have to evaluate yourself if you are having an eye problem mow. If so, tell the ophthalmologist about it. You can also tell if you have had a previous eye injury or an operation.  

Check your eyewear

Sometimes, we become worried about our vision because our eyewear is having defects or wearing out over the past years. Or maybe, it is not your eyewear but your vision that is starting to degrade and your eyewear needs to be upgraded.

This is sometimes confusing because you may think that your eyewear became worn out, or it is your vision that is really becoming worst that it needs an eye checkup. You also need to bring them during your eye exam so that your doctor can prescribe the right eyewear for you. And during your eye exam, you have to remove them so that the results will be accurate.

List your concern

You have to prepare a list of your concerns regarding your eye checkup. Ask all the questions regarding your eye condition, the problems you are experiencing with your sight, and all the possible concerns you have in mind with your eyes. You must stay focused and relax during the checkup. You can also bring someone with you to the optical clinic to assist you if you are having difficulty with your vision.

I hope these simple tips helped. Do not be afraid of having an eye exam. Take care of your eyes and avoid eye straining activities or too much exposure to television and radiation.
