If you’re wondering why you need an annual eye exam, please read this post written by a colleague…

“When a Routine Eye Exam Becomes Life-Saving

A healthy 31-year-old firefighter came in for what we both thought was just a routine contact lens exam. No symptoms, no complaints.

During the exam, I noticed swelling of his optic nerves (right eye greater than left) and referred him to neuro-ophthalmology. MRI revealed something no one expected - a malignant brain tumor the size of an avocado. He was sent straight to the ER, and that night, they operated.

A few weeks later, I found a Starbucks gift card in my bin from him. Not long after, he showed up at the office asking to see me. When I walked up front, he gave me a huge hug and said, “You saved my life.” I was speechless as the truth of it sunk in, then mustered to share my true feelings that we should both thank God. He showed me before-and-after pictures of the surgery – see attached. He’ll undergo targeted radiation and chemotherapy, but his prognosis is good.

This case reminded me – again - that optometry is so much more than glasses and contact lenses. Comprehensive eye exams can reveal serious systemic disease. And sometimes, they truly save lives.“

Myopia Awareness Week is a time for bringing myopia to the forefront of eye health, raising awareness about its impact, prevention, and management strategies to promote making healthy vision decisions worldwide.

Action is needed now more than ever; myopia is currently the most significant eye health threat of the 21st Century.

Myopia leads to an increased risk of serious eye conditions such as myopic macular degeneration, retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts that can lead to visual impairment or blindness. As seen in the graphic, these eye diseases become more prevalent as the levels of myopia increase.

Early, customized intervention (myopia control) plans have proven that the progression of myopia can be significantly slowed down or even stopped, and the subsequent risks from associated diseases also reduced.

It is important that children have regular eye examinations. Eye tests are even more critical if one or both parents are nearsighted.
