Do I need to get a separate retinal examination even if my vision is fine during the eye checkup?
2026.09.17 16:41
My glasses prescription doesn't change much, and I don't have any particular discomfort in my eyes, so I thought I just needed to get an eye exam.
However, I heard that, just like a health checkup, there are parts of the eyes that need to be checked separately from any visible abnormalities.
I am wondering if there are cases where it is necessary to check tests such as retinal function or intraocular pressure depending on age, even if vision is normal.

While it could simply be fatigue caused by overuse, there may also be underlying causes that are not easily visible on an eye chart, such as dry eyes, reduced focusing ability, or early signs of presbyopia. In particular, if you experience slow focus, eye strain, or even headaches after looking at close text for a long time, it is advisable to have it checked by an ophthalmologist. For those in their 40s or older, these symptoms may appear first as presbyopia begins to set in. If it were me, I would start by checking not only your vision but also your refraction test, tear film, and dry eye status. It is best to seek medical attention as soon as possible if the condition has suddenly worsened, if only one eye feels particularly uncomfortable, or if it is accompanied by symptoms such as blurred vision, double vision, pain, or flashes of light.585026.09.28

- 03CommentsThere are cases where X-rays are recommended even if there is no visible pain or cavities. This is because conditions around the tooth roots, the state of the alveolar bone, and issues between teeth, which are difficult to check from the outside, can be seen more clearly in radiographic images. We do not take X-rays for everyone without symptoms every time. After conducting an oral examination, we take X-rays only when necessary, based on a comprehensive assessment of age, risk of cavities and gum disease, past treatment history, and previous images. If gum disease is suspected, X-rays can be helpful in checking the extent of bone loss supporting the teeth. If your dentist suggests a checkup even though your teeth look fine on the outside, you should understand that they are doing so because the visible condition of your teeth may differ from the actual condition of the alveolar bone and roots.734126.09.21
