11 Health Risks That Comprehensive Eye Exams Can Detect
When is the last time you had a comprehensive eye exam? If it's been more than a few years now, you are overdue and should schedule an appointment in the near future. According to the American Optometric Association, American adults should have eye exams done at least once every two years. And those who are at risk for certain eye conditions should have them done even more often than that. During a comprehensive eye exam, an Ophthalmologist or Optometrist will test your eyesight through the use of a refraction eye exam. But they'll also perform many other tests that could detect certain health conditions that you might not be aware of. You might actually be surprised by how many health risks an optometrist can find during a comprehensive eye exam. Check out 11 of the most common health risks that an Ophthalmologist or Optometrist can spot while performing a comprehensive eye exam.

Can Diabetic Retinopathy Be Reversed? All You Need to Know
Both types of Diabetes mellitus are often associated with other serious health concerns. These comorbid conditions can take the form of nerve damage, wounds that won't heal, and organ failure, just to name a few. They're also present more often than not — a recent study found that of type II diabetic adults, 97.5% have one or more comorbid disease and 88.5% had two or more. One comorbid condition that fewer people are familiar with is diabetic eye damage, known as retinopathy. Left untreated, this condition can progress into partial or total blindness. Can diabetic retinopathy be reversed, and how does it affect your vision and eye health long-term? If you're wondering if there's hope for your diabetic vision loss, read on for the answers to those questions and more.

Yes, someone's vision will seem very clear following the surgery. This is because it's so much better once the clouded natural lens of the eye has been replaced by a clear synthetic lens. The best vision probably won't show up for a while, though. This article will discuss what cataract surgery accomplishes for most patients and how long complete vision restoration takes.
