BAYLOR SCOTT & WHITE OPTOMETRIST DOCTOR WILLIAM WHITE SAYS VISION PROBLEMS OFTEN COME ON GRADUALLY… MAKING THEM HARDER TO NOTICE. BUT EARLY DETECTION CAN KEEP THOSE ISSUES FROM BECOMING PERMANENT.

DR. WILLIAM WHITE
BAYLOR SCOTT & WHITE

Even if we think that we're doing well, having a good checkup, make sure these eyes are healthy, because sometimes whenever we have damage that we can't, we can't get that back. And it's really unfortunate.

HE SAYS IF YOU'RE 65 OR OLDER- AN ANNUAL EYE EXAM IS A GOOD IDEA… YOUNGER, HEALTHY PEOPLE WITHOUT A HISTORY OF EYE PROBLEMS CAN GET BY WITH AN EXAM EVERY FEW YEARS.
HE ALSO SAYS AS PEOPLE AGE- THOSE WITH BETTER VISION EXPERIENCE LESS COGNITIVE DECLINE.
