Do I need an eye test if I don't need glasses?

We have all heard the eyes are the window to the soul.  But you should know they are also a window into our body.  How healthy our body is doing or how UNHEALTHY our body is doing can show in our eyes. Conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, brain tumour, cancers, high cholesterol are just a few things that can be picked up at a routine eye examination.

So if you are one of the lucky ones who sees great. without the need for glasses or contact lenses, you may not feel the need for having an eye examination - with an optometrist not Dr Google.  

​Just remember even those with great vision can go on to develop health problems with the eyes.  And for many eye related diseases and disorders, vision loss happens.
