Eye Exam
Adult & Senior Comprehensive Eye Care
Vision
Not only do we evaluate and measure the necessary prescription for eyewear. But we also check to ensure both eyes team together equally. In many cases, poor eye teaming can cause headaches, eye strain, and tired eyes.
Eye Health
We carefully examine the eyes to ensure optimal eye health. This is especially important for those with high myopia and a family history of eye problems, since many eye diseases and conditions are asymptomatic in the early stages and can only be detected during an eye examination with an optometrist.
How often should I get my eyes checked?
ADULTS
We recommend an eye exam every 1-2 years to check the vision and the health of the eyes, just like a routine physical examination with your family doctor.
SENIORS
Adults over the age of 65 are advised to have a routine eye examination every year. Many conditions including glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration become more prevalent with increasing age. Early detection and prevention are the key to managing these conditions before they cause serious damage and irreversible vision loss.
CHILDREN
We recommend their first eye exam when they are 6 months old, 3 years old and then yearly to make sure their visual system is developing properly.
DIABETICS
Individuals with diabetes should be examined routinely on a yearly basis to screen for diabetic retinopathy. Poorly controlled blood sugar damages the small blood vessels in the body, which can be seen directly in an eye exam.
