Why Routine Eye Tests Matter-No Matter Your Age
Introduction
Eye exams aren’t just for when your vision goes blurry. At SpecSMART Eye Clinic Ikeja, we believe regular eye checks are a vital part of maintaining good vision and protecting your eye health at every stage of life.
Eye Care Through the Ages
From kids to grandparents, your eyes change as you age. Routine exams help detect problems early often before symptoms appear.
-
Children
Early eye tests support proper visual development, detect common issues like lazy eye or squint, and set children up for success in school. -
Adults
Detect eye strain, screen-related fatigue, refractive changes, and early signs of diseases like glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy. -
Seniors
Regular checks are key for spotting age-related conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration, which can lead to irreversible vision loss if untreated.
