comprehensive eye care
Q. How often should I have my eyes checked?
A. Patients should see their doctor for a comprehensive eye exam every year. Children should have a routine exam every year to evaluate proper development of their vision and prevent any interference with their academic achievement. Older adults are often at a higher risk for eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and cataracts. Even if your eyes are healthy, a regular eye exam will provide the doctor with an ability to view the blood vessels of the eye.

hearing advice
Q. My family says that I turn the TV up too loud. I have noticed that when I am around a larger group of people that I have a difficult time understanding what is being said. I’m really not sure if I have a hearing problem. What should I do?
A. If you think you may be having difficulty with your hearing, the best step is to get a hearing examination. Speak with your physician, or contact an audiologist to set up an appointment. The appointment will include a physical examination of the ears and a hearing test. If there is a problem with your ears that could benefit from medical treatment, your audiologist will make a referral to your primary care physician or an ear, nose and throat specialist. If other treatments such as hearing aids are needed, your audiologist can provide you with information regarding these options. The important thing is for you to take that first step and make the call. Like any other aspect of your health, taking care of your hearing is an important part of your overall well-being.

Q. How can I get the best deal on car insurance for a teen driver?
A. Although premiums typically increase when you add a teenager to your policy, you can save a considerable amount with the discounts that State Farm provides.
