There have only been 'me-too drugs' for the past 15 years with nothing new. Would be interesting to explore further as to whether any of the ‘new’ glaucoma drugs are really new.

]]> Comment on How often should you get an eye exam? by pbgeorgia http://preventblindnessgeorgia.wordpress.com/2009/06/02/how-often-should-you-get-an-eye-exam/#comment-116 pbgeorgia Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:17:33 +0000 http://preventblindnessgeorgia.wordpress.com/?p=267#comment-116 We agree. You and your eye care professional know your eyes best. This chart is a guideline, it is important to have your eyes checked as often as is recommended by your eye care professional and whenever you notice anything new or strange. Thank you Justin.

Most eye conditions we look for in an eye exam have very subtle or absent symptoms. For example, glaucoma has almost no symptoms that a person with it would notice. Diabetic eye disease is often found, also, in the absence of any visual symptom. Many parents are taken by surprise when their child "fails" a school vision screening, because the child never shows any sign that anything was wrong. My take home message is get your base line, ask the eye doctor how often to come in, go back sooner if you notice anything new or strange.
