Default Re: ask me about eyes

[ QUOTE ]
I am 41 years old and have never seen any kind of eye doctor. My vision seems as "perfect" as it ever has. Is there any reason that I should be getting eye checkups?

I can tell you your near vision is not as good as it was even last year. You may not notice it when reading a book but the closer something is to your face the worse blurrier it gets compared to the previous year. But thats not serious anyways.....you'll need reading glasses within 5 years.

Other than that, you should get your eyes checked at least every 2 years to rule out eye disease which are often painless and insidious (glaucoma)
