How to choose wisely
Confirm the consultation fee and any separate assessment, treatment or follow-up charges with the practice. Review insurance coverage directly with the clinic and your insurer before booking.
When to see an eye doctor
Many eye diseases progress silently. Book a visit if you notice persistent or worsening blurred vision, new or suddenly increasing floaters (especially with light flashes), eye pain or redness that lasts more than a day or two, recurring headaches with visual strain, double vision, or new light sensitivity. In children, watch for sitting too close to screens, tilting the head or closing one eye to focus, and constant eye rubbing. Sudden vision loss — total or partial — or a dark curtain across your vision is an emergency that needs care within hours.
Routine eye exam schedule (general guidance)
| Age / condition | General recommendation |
|---|---|
| Children (3-4 years) | First comprehensive eye exam, then again before starting school |
| School age (6-17) | Every 1-2 years, or as advised |
| Adults 18-39, no symptoms | Roughly every 2-3 years |
| Adults 40-64 | Comprehensive baseline exam at 40, then every 2-4 years |
| 65 and older | Every 1-2 years |
| People with diabetes | Retina exam at least once a year |
| Glasses or contact lens wearers | Periodic exams as directed, often yearly |
These are general guidelines; your doctor sets the right schedule for your case.
When to consider LASIK
LASIK and related vision-correction procedures suit many people, but not everyone. The general criteria doctors look for: age 18 or older, a stable prescription for about a year, sufficient corneal thickness (measured by corneal mapping during the evaluation), and no active eye disease such as keratoconus or severe dry eye. The final decision always comes after a full examination — and the center determines the price after that exam, since the right technique differs from eye to eye. Before any procedure, ask: Am I a good candidate, and what are my alternatives? Which technique do you recommend and why? What are the possible complications? What exactly does the cost include — tests, drops, follow-ups, retreatment? Clear answers are the mark of an experienced surgeon.
