Be honest — kab last time apna eye check up karwaya tha? Agar yaad karne mein 10 second se zyada lag rahe hain, toh bhai samajh ja… time aa gaya hai! ?
Hum roz screen ke saamne baithe hote hain – mobile, laptop, TV, Netflix, aur phir bhi hum sochte hain, "Aankhon mein thoda dard ho raha hai... sone se theek ho jayega."
Nope. Time to stop guessing and start checking.
What is an Eye Check Up?
An eye check up (a.k.a eye exam or vision test) is a simple test where an eye specialist checks:
Your vision power (number)
Eye pressure (for glaucoma)
Retina, cornea, lens, etc.
Any signs of eye diseases or conditions
Basically, it’s like a full-body check-up, but just for your eyes.
Who Should Get an Eye Checkup?
Short answer: Everyone.
But especially:
Kids – To catch lazy eye, squint, or number issues early.
Teens & Adults – Especially if using computers for long hours.
Elderly – To check for cataracts, glaucoma, or age-related vision loss.
Diabetics – Because diabetes directly affects eye health.
People with glasses – Power change ho sakta hai.
