Comprehensive Eye Exam: Healthbeat Brooklyn

If you only get your eyes checked by an optometrist when you need a new Rx for eyeglasses -- it?s just not enough! Every year, an ophthalmologist should give you a comprehensive eye exam, because some of the most common diseases show no symptoms until it may be too late. Host Monica Sweeney, MD, volunteers to show you how easy it is to ensure good eyesight. For more information about getting a comprehensive eye exam at Long Island College Hospital, visit www.downstate.edu/ophthalmology.
