Back-to-School and Back-to-Routine: Why August Is the Perfect Time for an Eye Exam

As summer comes to an end, families are preparing for a busy season of school, sports, work, and daily routines. August is one of the most important times of the year to prioritize your eye health and make sure your vision is ready for everything ahead.

At DeVito Eye Care, we’re excited to welcome patients back for another season of comprehensive eye care and advanced eye health screenings.

Why August Is One of the Busiest Times for Eye Exams

Many patients put off routine healthcare during the summer months. Between vacations, camps, and busy schedules, eye exams often get pushed to the bottom of the to-do list.

Unfortunately, many eye conditions don’t take a summer break.

Conditions such as:

• Glaucoma
• Macular degeneration (AMD)
• Diabetic retinopathy
• Dry eye disease
• Changes in prescription

can develop gradually without noticeable symptoms.

That’s why annual eye exams remain one of the most important steps you can take to protect your long-term vision.

More Than Just a Vision Test

A comprehensive eye exam is about much more than determining whether you need glasses.

At DeVito Eye Care, we utilize advanced diagnostic technology including:

Maestro Eye Wellness Scan

Our Topcon Maestro II OCT allows us to examine the retina and optic nerve in remarkable detail.

This helps us detect and monitor:

• Glaucoma
• Macular degeneration
• Diabetic eye disease
• Retinal abnormalities
• Medication-related retinal changes

often before symptoms develop.

OPTOS Wide-Field Retinal Imaging

OPTOS imaging allows us to capture a detailed view of the retina.

Together, these technologies provide one of the most thorough eye health evaluations available.

Back-to-School Eye Exams Matter

Children may not realize they have vision problems because they assume everyone sees the way they do.

A comprehensive eye exam can help identify:

• Nearsightedness
• Farsightedness
• Astigmatism
• Eye coordination issues
• Focusing problems

Helping children see clearly can improve confidence, comfort, and classroom performance.

We Accept Most Major Insurance Plans

We believe quality eye care should be accessible.

DeVito Eye Care accepts most major vision and medical insurance plans.
