Annual Eye Exams

Detect early. Protect vision for life.

Annual Eye Exams:
The Foundation of Healthy Vision

Your eyes do so much for you every single day — but how often do you give them the care they deserve? Annual eye exams are one of the smartest and most effective ways to protect your vision, whether you wear glasses, contact lenses, or have perfect eyesight today. Far beyond simply updating a prescription, annual eye exams are designed to detect hidden eye conditions early, safeguard your vision long-term, and give you peace of mind knowing your eyes are healthy.

Why Annual Eye Exams Matter

Even if you see clearly right now, many eye diseases develop silently and without obvious symptoms. Conditions such as glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, cataracts, and macular degeneration can progress unnoticed until significant vision loss has already occurred. That’s why annual eye exams are so important: they allow your doctor to identify these conditions at their earliest, most treatable stages.

Skipping your annual eye exam may seem harmless, but it can put your eyesight at risk. Regular visits provide more than reassurance — they provide protection. By scheduling your annual eye exams consistently, you ensure your vision is closely monitored, giving you the best chance to maintain healthy eyes for life.

Along with your annual eye exams, we also provide diabetic eye exams and glaucoma testing to detect issues early and protect long-term vision health. Learn more about preventive care from the American Academy of Ophthalmology

What Happens During Your Eye Exam

A comprehensive annual eye exam with Dr. Belgrave goes far beyond a simple vision screening. Each exam is tailored to your unique needs and may include:

Checking your vision and updating your prescription if needed
 Screening for common eye diseases
 Evaluating the health of your retina, optic nerve, and other key structures
 Measuring eye pressure to detect early signs of glaucoma
 Personalized recommendations to help protect your sight

These steps allow Dr. Belgrave to gain a complete picture of your eye health. Whether you are an adult managing daily visual demands or a parent ensuring your child’s healthy development, annual eye exams provide the clarity and confidence you need.
