Generally, it is advisable to recur to an ophthalmology appointment:

• At the age of 3 (especially if any of the parents suffer from an ophthalmic pathology)

• Before going to school

• Healthy adults should attend at least one appointment between ages of 20 and 40, if no symptoms occur.

Situations that require special cares:

• Family history of ophthalmic disease

• Persons with risk factors for glaucoma (family history, ocular hypertension, black race, myopia)

• Patients with pathologies who present risk for eye problems (diabetes, neurological, oncological and circulatory diseases)

• Patients on chronic medication (for instance, corticoids, antimalarial, immunosuppressant, amiodarone, antidepressant)

• Occupations that cause eye damage

After the age of 40, healthy people should schedule an eye exam every 2 years.

Often, complimentary exams are required to better clarify certain conditions. JCS clinic is equipped with the latest diagnosis means (OCT, Perimetry, Chromatic vision, Corneal Topography, Aberrometry, Pupillometry, Pachymetry) as well as orthotic evaluation and treatment.
