• You have a family history of any degree of blindness
• You are over the age of 40
• You have type 1 or type 2 diabetes
• You have a personal history of injury or trauma

Optometrists are highly trained professionals offering a range of tests and treatment for sight. They complete a four-year degree of a certified optometrist school. They are only licensed to perform exams, prescribe glasses, lenses, and are trained to detect certain abnormalities of the orbitals. They are also able to prescribe medications pertaining to treatment of the optics. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor specializing in sight and orbital health. They are licensed to practice medicine and surgery as well as prescribing glasses and contact lenses. They can also choose a subspeciality and complete a couple more years of training and fellowships in treatment of the following:

Your child should have their first official exam as a newborn at the hospital soon after birth. This is to check the placement and structure of the eyes. After that it is a good idea to have your child’s sight checked every 2-4 years from ages 1 to 18. If your child is high risk for developing conditions due to substance abuse of the mother or cervicovaginal infection, exams may need to be conducted more often.

• Adults aged 20-49 should have an exam every 3 to 5 years
• Older adults who are ages 40-64 should have an exam every 2 to 4 years
• Seniors ages 65 an older should be examined every 1 to 2 years
• High risk adults such as ones with diabetes, a family history of glaucoma, patients with HIV/AIDs, and people who have taken medication which could cause toxicity to the orbitals should have an examination more often.

Age related macular degeneration also known as AMD. AMD is when the natural aging process begins to damage the part of the orbital that controls sharp, straight-ahead optics. The part that becomes damaged is called the macula which is part of the retina. AMD is the leading cause of sight loss. It doesn’t cause complete blindness, but it does make it hard to see faces, drive, close-up work, and read. Risk factors for AMD is having a family history, being Caucasian, and smoking. The only way to lower your risk is by aging in healthy way by making healthy lifestyle choices with physical activity and diet. Your doctor will dilate your pupils to look at the structures in the back of the optics to check for degeneration. If you are suffering from degeneration surgery and injections are the only way to treat it.
