Annual eye exams for any adult are an important part of your health. We can detect many health conditions in an eye exam, as well as maintaining the health of your eyes. A good way to maintain good vision and health is early detection of sight threatening diseases. Your risk of developing conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and cataracts increases as you age. These conditions when detected early can ensure good vision and prevent vision loss.

Dr Ricketts has worked in a pediatric eye care center with his sister Dr Jody Ricketts who is a certified Pediatric Optometrist at 730 N Optometry in Libertyville Illinois. He performed thorough eye exams for children with learning disabilities. His duties were detection of early vision problems, related to learning disabilities.

This is important to detect early conditions related to visual problems.
