So how does an eye exam contribute to your vision and eye health? Eye exams are the cornerstone for any proper preventive care routine. These evaluations scan the eye and vision for any trouble spots. For instance, if you’re eyes are changing colors… don’t fret, you’re not turning into a mutant. Many factors contribute to this change. Eye color change is usually linked to high cholesterol. During an eye exam, even the tiniest sliver of cholesterol (or plaque) can be found lurking inside retinal arteries. Doctors dilate the eyes to find those portions of the eye covered in cholesterol. You definitely don’t want these plaques hanging around, as they’re a dangerous sign that you’re at a stroke or heart attack. With that said, don’t waste another second…get an evaluation as soon as possible. Going about your due diligence can go a long way toward finding this condition in its early stages, making it far less difficult to treat—way before it has done any serious damage to the eye and/or vision. Sound good? Now all you have to do is take the first step. Contact Family Eyecare of Brighton as soon as possible and speak to our optometrist in Brighton CO.
