What To Expect From An Eye Exam

Our eye care team is proud to provide our patients with comprehensive eye exams in a friendly and professional environment. The process begins with a detailed discussion of medical history and vision concerns, followed by a series of tests, including visual acuity, refraction, and tonometry. This helps us get a full picture of your overall eye health and diagnose any diseases or conditions that may be affecting you.

Patients can expect personalized care, clear explanations of their eye health, and tailored recommendations for corrective lenses, including specialty eyewear and contact lenses, ensuring optimal vision and satisfaction with their eye care experience.

How Often Should I See My Eye Doctor?

The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends regular comprehensive eye exams for all ages to maintain vision health. Infants should have their first exam between 6–12 months, children at age 3 and before school, then annually. Adults 18–60 should be examined every two years, or yearly if they wear corrective lenses or have risk factors like diabetes or family history of eye disease. Adults 61+ should have annual exams to monitor age-related conditions such as cataracts and macular degeneration. Routine exams ensure early detection and treatment of vision problems, supporting lifelong eye health.

Protecting Your Child’s Eye Health and Vision

Clear vision is essential for children’s learning, development, and well-being. Undetected issues like myopia, amblyopia, and strabismus can lead to permanent vision loss and affect social and academic growth. Risk factors include family history, premature birth, low birth weight, and conditions like diabetes. Modern contributors such as excessive screen time and limited natural light also play a role. Regular eye exams allow early detection and treatment, ensuring children maintain healthy vision to learn and thrive.

Speak to Us About Comprehensive Contact Lens Exams

In addition to routine exams, we offer contact lens exams to ensure the perfect fit and optimal vision.
