did  you  know  80%  of  the  American  population  consider  sight  to  be  the  most important  sense  but  only  half  of  those  polled  actually  get  annual  eye  exams?

Most people don't associate their eyes with the rest of their body and overall health.  Very few people realize that signs of diseases or conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, thyroid diseases, and certain types of cancers can be detected through a routine eye exam.  In fact, eye doctors are most often the first to detect signs of abnormal health conditions.  

During your eye exam, Dr. Kane has the ability to view the blood vessels in their natural state.  There's no lab work necessary or poking around.  He simply has an unobstructed view of the blood vessels during the biomicroscopy   ( this is the part of the exam where your chin is rested in the slit lamp and each eye is looked into with that really bright light?  yeah, that's it! )  

That sounds amazing to me!  Dr. Kane routinely checks for dry eyes,  digital eye strain, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, macular degeneration, multiple sclerosis, and so much more during your eye exam.  If your vision is important to you and you want to protect it, call the office and let's get you in!  Wait time to be seen is usually less than 10 mins so most patients can come during a lunch break and still grab a bite to eat!  Don't forget to get the kiddos their eye exams, too!  The majority of learning is visual and vision screenings performed school or by their pediatrician aren't meant to be as thorough because they don't have the capabilities to keep all of testing equipment.   Plus, eye health is Dr. Kane's specialty!
