Totally agree with the OP...have had to get laser work done on both eyes because of small tears and such, work that might have been a whole lot more serious without getting caught by my optometrist.

Someone could kick you in the nuts and you'd have bigger tears. Problem solved.

I am a current practicing optometrists. Messages like the original thread can never be emphasized enough. As stated by the many examples already in this thread, alot can be seen through a regular eye health exam with regular checkups even if you see 20/20.

How much does an eye exam cost? Is it like dentist appointments where you need to book months in advance?
I've never had my eyes checked since I was a kid in elementary school.

Sorry I'm not up to snuff on my history Not sure how that makes me a bandwagon fan. I was crapping my pants at that age.
I'm glad that I know how to dx graves' disease and treat it, though. In the spirit of the OP, go for your yearly physical.

Anywhere from $90 to $130 depending on the office and the equipment used.
At most you will be booking a month in advance. Depending on the time of year you can even sometimes get in same day or next day. December and June are usually the slowest months.

I get mine checked every three months - having laser corrective surgery necessitates regular check-ups. One of the many benefits.
