More Than Just a Vision Check

What Is a Comprehensive Eye Exam?

A comprehensive eye exam includes a vision test and a close look at your eye health. We check your prescription to make sure you’re seeing clearly, and we also examine the structures of your eyes to look for changes that may not be noticeable yet. These exams help us catch issues early and give you a better understanding of how your eyes are doing over time.

  • Clear explanations of what we’re doing and what we’re seeing

Our goal is to make sure you feel informed and comfortable from start to finish.

Care for Every Stage of Life

Pediatric Eye Exams

Children’s eyes are still developing, which makes early eye exams important. We check for vision problems that can affect learning, coordination, and overall development—even if your child hasn’t mentioned any issues. 

Medical Eye Exams

Sometimes, an eye exam is needed to address a specific concern. If you’re experiencing symptoms such as blurred vision, eye discomfort, or sudden changes in vision, a medical eye exam allows us to take a closer look. 

Diabetic Eye Exams

If you have diabetes, regular eye exams are an important part of your overall health care. We monitor for changes in the blood vessels in your eyes and help you stay ahead of complications.

Contact Lens Exams

Contact lens exams are slightly different from routine eye exams because they focus on how lenses fit and feel on your eyes. We measure your eyes and evaluate your tear film.

How Often Should You Have an Exam?

Regular eye exams help us keep track of your vision and catch changes early. While every patient is different, general guidelines include:

  • Children should have routine exams as their eyes develop
  • Adults should have regular exams, even if their vision seems stable
  • Patients with conditions like diabetes or glaucoma may need more frequent visits

If you’re unsure when to come in, our team can help you decide what schedule makes the most sense for you.
