Look Good with Rabin Opticians
Most people visit their dentist only when a problem arises. The reality is that regularly scheduled visits with a dentist keep mouths feeling good and provides peace of mind in knowing all is well with one's teeth.
The same tends to be true with eye care as well. Pain is rarely felt in the eyes unless there has been some type of trauma or underlying condition developing undetected, so people only visit an optician when their vision starts to fail. Regular examinations are important preventive measures that allow for the monitoring and tracking of eye health.
An eye examination is not intended to merely to check the status of your vision, but it also helps to identify early indications of conditions which could affect your eyes before you are aware of them or negatively impacted by any of the symptoms accompanying glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes, or even high blood pressure.
A significant number of eye conditions are treatable when discovered early enough in adults, but regular examinations for children are essential, as children rarely realise when there is anything wrong with their eyes. Children’s eye examinations are provided free-of-charge under the NHS.
