Eye Exams For the Whole Family

Everyone needs routine eye exams!

As You Age, Your Eyes Change…

Much like every other part of the body, the eyes change with time. Factors such as medications, hormones, pregnancy, climate, and daily activities can also impact the clarity of your vision and your eye health. Routine exams allow your eye doctor to monitor these changes closely so that eye conditions and diseases can be detected early, before significant vision loss or complications arise.

What To Expect at a Comprehensive Eye Exam

Complete eye exams go beyond basic vision screenings. They involve an in depth evaluation of your eyes for various conditions, assessment of your eye muscle function, and updating your prescription. One of our eye doctors will also ask you about your health history, if there’s a pattern of disease in your family, if you’re taking any medications, and what your current lifestyle consists of.

An eye exam includes a range of tests, such as a refraction test that’s done using a phoropter which allows you to read letters and numbers on an eye chart. This test helps determine your refractive error and which lenses will provide you with the clearest vision.

Children need regular eye exams too, especially because their vision changes rapidly during childhood and adolescence. And with approximately 80% of learning relying on good vision, it makes sense to prioritize your child’s eye and visual health.

Many kids who face difficulties in academics and sports are actually plagued by vision problems, which can sometimes lead to a misdiagnosis of conditions like ADHD. This is because vision problems can cause challenges such as fatigue during schoolwork or sports, behavioral issues, headaches, and excessive squinting, among others.

To make sure your little one thrives at school and sports, the American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends eye exams at 6 months of age, 3 years, when starting school, and every 1-2 years thereafter (or as advised by their eye doctor).

Comprehensive Eye Exam Components

Services Callout 1 in [tokens name=City],[tokens name=State].

Visual Field Test

This exam is designed to test your ability to see in your direct line of vision. When you look at a specific object, you should still be able to see the other objects around it. By assessing your visual field, our eye doctors can detect potential vision issues and early signs of eye conditions.

Refraction Exam

During your comprehensive eye exam, our skilled eye doctor will use a phoropter to conduct a refraction exam. This advanced device houses a range of lenses that allow us to precisely determine your prescription for glasses or contact lenses.

Binocular Vision Assessment

A binocular vision assessment evaluates critical aspects of your vision, including depth perception, eye alignment, and muscle strength. This essential examination helps us identify any potential issues that may affect your visual performance.

Digital Retinal Imaging

Our advanced retinal imaging procedure captures detailed images of the back of your eye. This allows our eye doctor to effectively identify and monitor eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and glaucoma – so we can offer the appropriate treatment and ensure the best care for your vision.

Corneal Mapping

Using corneal topography, we measure the shape and curve of your cornea. This helps us detect conditions like astigmatism and keratoconus and allows us to determine if you are a suitable candidate for LASIK surgery.

OCT Scan

Step into the realm of cutting-edge imaging with an OCT (optical coherence tomography) scan. This non-invasive procedure uses light waves to capture intricate images of your retina and optic nerve. By offering a detailed 3D view of the inside of your eye, much like a CT scan, an OCT scan plays a pivotal role in diagnosing and managing significant eye conditions such as macular degeneration and glaucoma in their earliest stages.

Eye Pressure Test

With a quick and painless test called tonometry, we can measure your eye pressure to check for signs of glaucoma, a serious eye disease that can lead to vision loss if left untreated.

Peripheral Vision Assessment

Our peripheral vision assessment measures your ability to see objects outside of your central line of sight. This test is essential because peripheral vision loss can indicate severe eye conditions or diseases. During the assessment, you'll focus on a fixed point while objects are gradually introduced into your peripheral vision, helping us identify any potential gaps that may need attention.

Visual Acuity Test

Our visual acuity test is a reliable measure of your ability to see objects at a distance, and it’s measured on a scale of 20. This test is crucial in identifying any potential vision problems that may require corrective measures, such as prescription glasses or contact lenses.

Color Evaluation

This valuable test is designed to assess your ability to distinguish between different colors accurately. It allows us to identify any color vision deficiencies or abnormalities, including color blindness, through the use of colored plates and obscured numbers or shapes set against dotted backgrounds.
