  • Beyond Vision: How Comprehensive Eye Exams Can Detect Systemic Health Issues

    Beyond Vision: How Comprehensive Eye Exams Can Detect Systemic Health Issues
    2025/03/17
    In this episode of Beyond Clinical Walls, Dr. Bayo underscores the importance of comprehensive eye exams, which reveal more than just vision issues—they can indicate overall health concerns as well. Joined by Dr. Donahue, an optometrist with deep family roots in eye care, the discussion illuminates how routine eye examinations are a crucial aspect of preventive health care. Dr. Donahue highlights that eye exams can detect early signs of systemic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, long before other symptoms manifest. This episode reveals that an optometrist's role extends beyond prescribing glasses or contacts; they are pivotal in catching health issues early through the unique vantage point of eye health. The conversation also tackles common misconceptions about eye health, emphasizing that good vision does not negate the need for regular eye check-ups. Dr. Donahue shares insights on the critical differences between vision tests and thorough eye health examinations, stressing that both adults and children should undergo regular eye assessments to catch issues like glaucoma—often dubbed the "silent thief of sight"—before they cause severe damage. Dr. Bayo and Dr. Donahue discuss actionable tips and resources available for those who may not have direct access to eye care due to financial constraints, highlighting programs that provide essential services for eye health maintenance and care.
