In this world where every individual is glued to their TV and the smartphones, having a bird’s eye view is a rarity. The concern for eye health is growing day by day. One cannot take risks when it comes to eye care as this is one part that helps you see the world around you.

Though people are quite aware of the growing eyesight concern, they are surrounded by myths that make them hesitate to get their vision checked. Visiting an optometrist is always a beneficial decision, but the myths may lead to you delay things. What are they? Read on, to find out.

4 Myths and the Corresponding Related Facts

  • Myth 1: My eyesight is perfect. There is no way I need an eye checkup.

Fact 1: In reality, there are very few cases where eyesight retains its perfection throughout one’s lifespan. But, in most cases, a problem may occur, and you may not even realize it.

By visiting an eye clinic, you make sure of one thing. That proper vision care would be a given priority. Be sure to pay attention to smaller symptoms, before the issue has gone too far.

  • Myth 2: If my child is not old enough to read the letters on the chart, an eye test cannot be conducted.

Fact 2: No matter what the age of your child, you can always get their eyes checked. Reading through the alphabetic chart is not the only way available to get an eye checkup. Technology has grown to an extent where everything is possible. Automation has taken over that promise to provide perfect and accurate results.

When you pay a visit to an optometrist, they make sure that the eye test is easy on your little one and that they find it fun. Also, getting your child’s eye test should be your priority even if everything looks perfect.

  • Myth 3: Optometrists are just money-making machines. They will prescribe me a pair of spectacles even if I don’t need one.

Fact 3: If you visit a reputable optometrist in Nepean, there is no chance that they’ll advise you anything that you don’t require. The test results would be thorough with no chance of misleading output. Moreover, an eye test should be included in your routine checkups; just to be sure that everything is fine.

Even the spectacle wearers should be going for eye checkups on a frequent basis, as the eye number may increase or decrease over time.

  • Myth 4: If you start wearing spectacles, you’ll become dependable on them.

Fact 4: Wearing spectacles is not making you dependable on them, instead it is stabilizing your eyesight as to where it stands. On the other hand, if you stop wearing spectacles your eyesight could deteriorate further. And, if that happens, you would need to opt for surgery, or you may even lose the vision altogether.

 

Therefore, if you have been prescribed a pair of spectacles after going through an eye exam, do wear them. Do not overlook the needs of your eye and also maintain a proper diet to nurture your eyes.

Wrapping Up

Looking at four myths and the corresponding facts about an eye exam, do not hesitate to visit an eye specialist the next time. Look for “optometrist near me” and book your appointments with reputable and experienced eye doctors, today.
