It’s important to schedule an appointment with us if you are aware of any family history of eyesight issues that required ophthalmology treatment. This way, we have all of our bases covered with a completely up to date and comprehensive vision analysis for you. Genetics play a significant role in many eyesight and eye health issues, so having all of your necessary information will help us be able to plan accordingly. For example, those who have parents or grandparents who have had much more severe eyesight problems such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, or other issues, are more likely to develop such conditions. This is why we urge patients to schedule an appointment with us so we can make sure to avoid any of these problems and make sure your eye health gets taken care of properly.
