Eye Diseases Statistics

Are you due to visit the optometrist? Even if you don’t wear glasses and your eyes are feeling fine, we’re here to share several reasons why you should get your eyes tested on a regular basis.

Visiting your local optometrist allows doctors to look directly at your blood vessels which can reveal early warning signs of serious health problems such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease and diabetes before the symptoms show up anywhere else in the body.


If you’re experiencing changes in your vision or visible changes to your eyes, these can be early warning signs of serious eye conditions.  No matter how busy you are, you must put aside some time for yourself to get your eyes looked at by a certified optometrist.

Cataract Awareness

With age, comes the natural degradation of bodily function including eyesight. One of the most prevalent eye problems at an advanced age is Cataract. This disease affects more than half of Americans ages 40 and above.
Cataracts may vary in degree from slight clouding to complete loss of lens transparency. There are several causes of this disease which include exposure to radiation and ultraviolet rays of the sun; secondary effects from other diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. Genetics also factors into play.

Your eyes are incredibly important and 20/20 Eyeglass Superstore is here to assist you with taking care of them.  A routine eye exam can help diagnose potential eye issues and possibly ward off a more serious situation such as Glaucoma and Cataract.

Having a comprehensive eye examination on an annual basis is crucial to maintaining proper eye health and can find eye conditions such as glaucoma.  Routine eye exams also can also detect other underlying conditions.  Your optometrist will perform several tests during your eye exam that test and check your vision.  These tests are completely painless.

What is Glaucoma?

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma refers to a group of diseases that damages the part of the optic nerve that carries visual information to the brain. The terrible aspect of Glaucoma is that there are no symptoms until it’s too late and that’s why it’s extremely important to get your eyes checked on a regular basis. Once you get diagnosed with Glaucoma, the eye damage is almost always irreversible.

Come down to any 20/20 Eyeglass Superstore location with your family and make sure everyone has an eye exam with one of our independent in-house optometrists. Make it a priority to have your eyes examined every year so that you don’t run the risk of losing your sight to Glaucoma.
