Remember that everyone needs routine eye exams, whether or not you think your vision has changed. Ophthalmologists do check your vision, but they also look for early signs of problems like cataracts, macular degeneration, dry eyes and diabetic retinopathy. Even if your vision prescription stays the same, you should schedule an eye exam every one to two years. Be sure to mention any issues you are having, such as digital eyestrain or dry eyes. Your eye doctor may recommend switching to a different brand of contact lenses that ease dry eyes. Computer programmers should also consider wearing eyeglasses instead of contacts about once per week to give their eyes a break.
