Gaithersburg, Maryland, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) October 18, 2010 -- Barry Lebowitz Optometrist at Potomac Eye Care in Gaithersburg, discusses a recent case that exemplifies the importance of regular eye exams. An individual in their mid 40′s recently presented to Barry Lebowitzs Gaithersburg office complaining of blur in the distance vision. The eye examination revealed a slight increase in myopia. While it would have been easy to just prescribe new glasses, this change in prescription was unusual for his age.

The individual was referred for a diabetes evaluation, where it was confirmed he had previously undiagnosed diabetes.

A number of systemic health conditions may manifest themselves through eye and vision changes. "Comprehensive eye examinations are about more than new eyeglasses or contact lenses. They are an integral part of preventive health care", says Gaithersburg Optometrist Barry Lebowitz.
