Protect Your Sight with Preventative Eye Care
Your eyes are one of your most valuable assets, and caring for them goes beyond updating your glasses prescription. Preventative eye exams are the first line of defense against serious eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.
At Dr. Elmalem & Associates, our team of optometrists is committed to helping patients in Richmond Hill and Newmarket protect their long-term vision through comprehensive preventative care.
Why Preventative Eye Exams Matter
Many eye conditions develop slowly and show no obvious symptoms in the early stages. By the time vision changes are noticeable, damage may already be permanent. Regular preventative eye exams allow us to identify issues early, when treatment is most effective.
During a preventative eye exam, we assess more than just your prescription. Our optometrists check the health of the retina, optic nerve, and cornea, while also screening for dry eye, cataracts, and other common age-related concerns. For adults over 50, these exams are especially important to ensure clear, comfortable vision for years to come.
