Comprehensive Eye Exams

Eye exams are vital to your overall health.

In addition to assessing your visual acuity, your eye care provider will test for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes are functioning together, and more.

Serious health issues like diabetes and high blood pressure are often first detected during an eye exam.

• Retinoscopy – to estimate your eyeglass prescription
• Refraction – to determine your exact eyeglass prescription
• Slit lamp – to check for common eye diseases and conditions
• Retinal photo screenings – to test for diabetic retinopathy
• Tonometry – to test for glaucoma
• Ophthalmoscopy – to examine the optic nerve, retina, and blood vessels
