Through your eyes, Washington Eye Clinic
can gain insight into your overall health as well as determine eye
health and vision during a comprehensive eye exam. In fact, some
systemic and chronic diseases can be detected with an
eye exam. And some diseases, like
diabetes,
can seriously affect your vision in addition to your overall health.
Other eye diseases, like
glaucoma, may cause vision damage and eventually blindness without
you ever experiencing any symptoms.
