General Eye Check-up
General Eye Check-up
Comprehensive Eye Screening for All Ages
A general eye check-up is an essential part of your overall health routine. Under the care of Dr. Anagha Deshpande, each examination is designed to assess your vision, eye pressure, eye alignment, and the health of internal structures including the cornea, lens, retina, and optic nerve. Many eye conditions develop silently and without pain, making routine screening the best way to detect problems early and preserve long-term vision.
Why Regular Eye Exams Matter
Regular eye examinations help identify early signs of conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, retinal diseases, and refractive errors well before symptoms begin. These assessments also offer valuable insight into broader systemic health issues such as diabetes, hypertension, and cholesterol imbalance—many of which first show subtle changes in the eyes.
Clear, comfortable vision plays a central role in safe driving, effective learning, workplace efficiency, and overall quality of life. Your eyes are irreplaceable, and preventive eye care ensures they remain healthy, functional, and protected for years to come.
How Often Should You Get Checked?
The ideal frequency for an eye examination depends on your age, medical history, and family background.
Adults (18–40 years): Every 1–2 years
Children & Teenagers: Every 1–2 years or as recommended
Adults above 40: Annually, to monitor age-related changes
Diabetes, hypertension, or family history of eye disease: At least once a year
If you notice changes in vision: Seek an examination immediately
If you have had eye problems in the past—or if someone in your family has conditions such as glaucoma or retinal disease—annual eye exams become even more important. Any sudden or gradual change in your eyesight should be evaluated promptly by Dr. Anagha Deshpande to ensure early diagnosis and timely treatment.
