Your annual eye exam isn't just about updating your prescription – it's a window into your overall health. During these comprehensive examinations, our experienced doctors can detect early signs of serious medical conditions that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Think of your eyes as natural diagnostic tools. Through detailed examination of your retina, blood vessels, and other eye structures, we can identify indicators of:
Type 2 diabetes, which often causes subtle changes to retinal blood vessels before other symptoms appear
Hypertension, visible through characteristic changes in eye vasculature
Various cancers that can affect the eyes or surrounding tissues
Early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other sight-threatening conditions
By scheduling your annual eye exam, you're not just protecting your vision – you're taking a proactive step toward safeguarding your overall health.
Don't wait until you notice vision changes. Book your comprehensive eye exam with Dr. Attia today. Call [718-447-7483] or schedule online through our patient portal. And if you don't have insurance, don't worry. Please feel free to give us a call and we'll be happy to discuss our options.
