Eye Associates of Bucks County

Annual eye exams can reveal far more than changes in your vision. They can also uncover early signs of serious health conditions that may otherwise go unnoticed.

At Eye Associates of Bucks County, part of Center for Advanced Eye Care, we believe caring for your vision is about more than just seeing clearly; it’s about protecting your overall health. Your eyes can provide important clues about what’s happening in the rest of your body, which is why annual exams are such an essential part of preventive care.

During a comprehensive eye exam, our doctors look beyond prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses. They can detect early warning signs of systemic health issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, stroke risk, and even certain autoimmune disorders. In fact, changes in the tiny blood vessels at the back of the eye are often one of the first indicators of a larger problem, sometimes before other symptoms are noticeable.

Dr. Alice Sui has seen firsthand how powerful an eye exam can be:

“Through a routine eye exam, I’ve been able to uncover signs of serious issues. In some cases, these discoveries have led to immediate medical intervention that quite literally saved a life.

One of the most rewarding moments in my career so far was detecting signs of significant carotid artery blockage through extensive retinal bleeding in one eye and sending the patient to the ER, where she received urgent surgery to restore proper blood flow and reduce the risk of stroke. 

Experiences like this remind me that the eyes truly are a window to the body. I’m lucky to be in a position where I can help people every day-not just to see better, but to live longer, healthier lives. That’s what makes this profession so meaningful.”

Stories like these are powerful reminders of why regular eye care should never be overlooked. By scheduling your annual eye exam, you’re not just protecting your eyesight; you’re taking a proactive step toward safeguarding your overall health and well-being.
