There’s something hopeful about the clean slate of the new year. Maybe you’ve set goals to get healthier, get organized, or simply take better care of yourself. But while you’re resetting routines and big intentions, don’t forget one of the most overlooked essentials: your vision.
Scheduling your annual eye exam means protecting your eye health for the long haul. And January is the perfect time to start.
At Premier Medical Eye Group, we make it easy to prioritize your vision with comprehensive care for the whole family. Whether you need new glasses, contact lenses, or a complete eye health check, we’re your go-to Mobile family eye doctor, and we’ve got everything you need under one roof.
Why Choose January to Prioritize Your Vision
Let’s be real: December is chaos. Between the holidays, travel, and a to-do list as long as Dauphin Street, it’s easy to put your own needs on the back burner. But when January rolls around? That’s your chance to reset.
Booking your eye exam in January comes with a lot of benefits:
- Your vision insurance benefits have just reset. If you’ve got a plan that covers annual eye exams, don’t let those benefits sit unused.
- It’s easier to get the appointment you want. The early months tend to have more availability than the spring or summer rush.
- You’re setting the tone for the rest of your year. Clear vision supports everything from your work productivity to your driving safety, especially with Mardi Gras season on the horizon.
Whether you're a parent juggling school schedules, a student heading back to class, or just ready to update your look with a new pair of prescription Ray-Bans, January is a smart time to check in with your optometrist in Mobile, AL.
What to Expect at Your Annual Eye Exam
A lot of people assume eye exams are just about updating your glasses or contact lens prescription, but at Premier Medical Eye Group, they’re so much more than that.
A comprehensive eye exam is a complete check-up for your vision and overall eye health. It’s your best chance to catch changes early and protect your long-term sight, especially from conditions that often develop without obvious symptoms.
During the exam, our eye doctor, Dr. Greg Jackson, will:
- Check your visual acuity (how clearly you see at various distances)
- Update your prescription, if needed
- Examine the inner structures of your eye using advanced diagnostic tools
- Screen for glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease
- Evaluate your eye coordination and focusing ability
- Discuss symptoms like dry eyes, eye strain, or headaches if they apply
For contact lens wearers, the exam also includes a contact lens fitting to ensure your lenses are still the right shape and material for your corneal health. And for glasses wearers, it’s a great time to explore stylish new designer frames or upgrade to prescription sunglasses, because yes, even in “winter,” the Mobile sun doesn’t quit.
