Eye exams are an important complimentary piece of health care, and should not be taken lightly. Many systemic diseases (ie, diabetes, hypertension, auto-immune, carotid occlusive disease, etc.) may be initially detected during the course of a comprehensive eye exam. Additionally, glaucoma can be discovered, which is a symptom-less disease process that is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States. Unfortunately, kiosks and online / mobile devices would minimize visits where these diseases could be discovered.
