Eye Examinations

Eyes are the window to the world, so maintaining good eye health is vital. A number of eye conditions have no obvious symptoms and early diagnosis is key in treating them, so scheduling routine eye exams is wise if you want to maintain proper eye health. If you have concerns about your overall eye health, have experienced symptoms of an eye condition or are simply ready for new prescription glasses or contacts, getting an eye examination is your next step. We perform comprehensive medical and vision evaluations, retinal and corneal examinations, diabetic eye examinations, evaluations for new prescription lenses, cataract examinations and more. Take charge of your eye health and schedule an appointment with our dedicated team.

Comprehensive Eye Exam

You should frequently get comprehensive eye examinations to assess the health of your visual processes and eye health. In a comprehensive exam, a number of tests are conducted to create a complete evaluation of eye health. Depending on the number and complexity of the tests required to evaluate your vision, these eye exams may take up to an hour. Here are some things to expect when getting a comprehensive eye exam:

• Visual Acuity tests that measure the sharpness of your vision
• Color Blindness test
• Cover Test to test alignment
• Ocular Motility Testing to test eye movement
• Stereopsis Test to test depth perception
• Retinoscopy to obtain an eyeglass prescription
• Refraction to determine an exact eyeglass prescription
• Slit Lamp Exam to examine the structure of the eye
• Non-contact Tonometry to test for glaucoma
• Pupil Dilation to get a better view of the eyes internal structures
• Visual Field test to test vision for blind spots

Eye exams need to be done often, as many eye conditions can begin without symptoms. If you’re wondering if it’s time to schedule an eye exam, consider the following signs:

• Your eyes are red, dry, itchy, or you are seeing spots.
• You are experiencing flashes of light or eye floaters.
• You have diabetes or another health condition that affects your eyes.
• You have a family history of diabetes or another health condition that affects the eyes.
• You cannot remember the last time you had an eye examination
• You need a new eyeglass or contact lens prescription.
• You experience eye strain, headaches or blurred vision after looking at a computer screen for too long
• You get motion sick, dizzy or have trouble following a moving target with your eyes
• You notice any changes in your vision after an incident or head injury
• You have experienced an eye injury

Don't wait until you experience any of these symptoms to schedule an eye exam. You should have a yearly eye exam if not more to ensure any new or worsening eye conditions may be diagnosed and treated accordingly. If you are over the age of 50 it is recommended that you get more frequent eye exams. The health of your eyes are important to you, and to us.
