The Key to Lasting Health
How do we maintain a life of prolonged health? We go to the dentist, the doctor, and….the ophthalmologist! Eye care is one of the most essential aspects of living a long, happy life, but yet it is one of the most overlooked avenues when it comes to healthcare. However, did you know that 80% of what we perceive of the world comes from our eyesight alone? So, why not treat it with the utmost importance?
New year, new doctor’s appointments and your eye doctor falls right under that category!
As important as our eyesight is to our lives, people tend to put a pretty small emphasis on their care. In order to keep your eyes in top shape, it’s essential to attend routine comprehensive eye exams, which we offer at Shanbom Eye Specialists!

As you get older, eye conditions like glaucoma and cataracts become more and more common, resulting in more visits. Don’t fear – Shanbom Eye Specialists are well trained to provide wonderful care and administer tests required within your routine check up.
When was the last time you had your eyes properly checked? Start the new year off with a clear vision and clear vision.
Do you suffer from Presbyopia? Presbyopia, age-related blurry near vision, is a common, progressive condition that reduces the eye's ability to focus on near objects and affects nearly half of the U.S. adult population, usually over age 40.
