Early Detection

It is important to remember that many people do not know they have eye disease because there are often no warning signs or symptoms, or they assume that poor eyesight is a natural part of growing older. Early detection and treatment of eye problems is the best way to keep your healthy vision throughout your life. In many cases, blindness and vision loss are preventable.
