Did you know that vision changes can happen gradually over time? Small changes may be easy to overlook, especially if you have adjusted to squinting, eye strain, or difficulty seeing at certain distances. An eye exam can help identify what has changed and whether updated care is needed. This National Eye Exam Month, take a moment to think about how your eyes feel during reading, driving, screen use, and daily activities.

Your provider can evaluate your vision and talk through habits that may be affecting your eye comfort. During National Eye Exam Month, Southwest Eye Care encourages Albuquerque adults to pay attention to screen-related eye strain and schedule an exam if symptoms continue.

False. You do not have to wait until you experience blurry vision to schedule an eye exam. Comprehensive eye exams can help your provider check your vision, evaluate your eye health, and look for changes that may not be obvious right away. Even if your sight feels clear, regular exams are still an important part of caring for your eyes. National Eye Exam Month is a great reminder to make vision care a priority.
