Your Eye Examination

During your comprehensive eye exam, we provide a multitude of benefits in addition to a precise glasses prescription. We are proud to include the following personalized services during each exam:

• Offer recommendations for how you can optimize and protect your vision.
• Identify any unique risks you may have and recommend a plan for addressing them.
• Detect eye diseases, such as glaucoma or cataracts, and initiate treatment or specialist consultations as needed. Early diagnosis can help prevent future vision loss.
• Offer customized eye care by taking your personal and family health history, as well as your lifestyle, into consideration when making our recommendations.

We take pride in giving each patient a thorough comprehensive eye exam while utilizing the latest diagnostic technology.  Determining the best prescription for your vision is only the beginning. We also include the following services during each exam:

• We check your peripheral vision and muscle balance.
• We examine your eyes for early signs of high blood pressure, diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, and other diseases that can affect your vision.
• We provide either a picture of the back of the eye or dilation with eye drops to reveal any abnormalities of the retina and other internal eye structures.
• For contact lens patients, we conduct additional tests to determine the curvature of your corneas so that we can optimize the fit and comfort of your lenses.

At the conclusion of your exam, you will receive a written prescription with recommendations for types of spectacle or contact lenses that best meet your personal visual needs.
