Has anyone here ever benefitted from an eye exam?

Yep. My vision took a very rapid decline when I was a teenager. One moment I was seeing clearly and then a short time after, I couldn't see for shit. So I went in for an eye exam and learned I have 20/40 vision. Wore glasses for nearly 10 years before I got laser eye surgery (albeit to remove cataracts) and now I'm seeing clearly again.

Um... yeah? I don’t mean to be rude but I thought it was kind of obvious that some people would benefit from eye exams.

I wear contacts. Can’t see without them.

My eye doctor was the one that told me I had high blood pressure and diabetes. I had been tested through my PCP and there was no issues supposedly. Then I went to her just 3 months later and she could see it perfectly. I took her findings back to my PVP and they did other tests that showed indeed I was diabetic. They had me start monitoring my blood pressure and it was unbelievably high in the late afternoons. She has caught other little things along the way too. People play off vision and dental care, but they are both important.

Opthamalogists give extremely thorough check ups and can diagnose early onset of many eye diseases.

Im outting it off dor a whilr longer.

i did. i needed them badly. and have ever since.

Yes, I am one of those people as of 14 months ago. 👓 ☺
