When should you see an ophthalmologist in Fez, Morocco? Some signs should prompt you to book an appointment without delay, others call for regular follow-up. Here is a simple guide to the symptoms not to ignore, the recommended follow-up by age, and the care offered at Dr Oulehri Hassan’s practice.
When to see an ophthalmologist?
Beyond simply needing glasses, several situations warrant an eye examination, some of which are urgent.
- A loss of vision, sudden or gradual
- Eye pain or a persistently red eye
- Flashes of light, a shower of “floaters” or a dark veil (seek urgent care)
- Distorted vision or colors that change
- Headaches, eye strain, sensitivity to light
Recommended follow-up by age
- Child : detect a visual problem early (children do not always complain) so it does not hinder learning.
- Adult : a regular check-up, especially in case of discomfort or family history.
- After 40-45 : monitoring of presbyopia and screening for glaucoma.
- Diabetic : a regular fundus examination is essential.
