What to expect during your comprehensive eye exam
Looking for a thorough eye exam near you? We go beyond checking your prescription. Our eye exams provide a complete view of your eye health using advanced diagnostics and trusted clinical care.
Comprehensive Eye Exams Provide a Complete Picture of Eye Health
Regular eye exams are essential for protecting your vision and overall eye health. Even if your eyesight appears clear, many conditions can develop without noticeable symptoms in their early stages. Comprehensive exams allow us to detect issues early, when they’re most treatable, and to ensure your prescription is always up to date.
Eye Exams Include Prescription, Eye Health & Visual Function Testing
Our adult exams begin with a detailed review of your medical and family history. We assess your vision, screen for common eye diseases, and check how your eyes work together. Exams may include:
-
Visual acuity testing
-
Pupil response
-
Eye movement, focusing, and coordination
-
Color vision and depth perception
-
Peripheral vision testing
-
Eye pressure and retinal evaluation using high-resolution imaging
Additional tests may be recommended based on your age, symptoms, or risk factors.
Eye Exams Provide a Complete Picture of Your Eye Health
Vision screenings can miss early signs of disease or hidden vision problems. Our comprehensive exams detect changes that may not affect vision right away, like glaucoma, retinal disease, or eye coordination issues, so we can begin treatment early.
How Often Should You Get an Eye Exam?
Recommended frequency varies by age and medical risk:
-
Infants and Children: First exam by 6 months, then at age 3, before starting school, and annually thereafter.
-
Adults 18–60: Every 1–2 years, or as recommended.
-
Adults 61+:Annually, even without symptoms.
-
Higher-risk patients: May require more frequent monitoring (e.g., diabetes, high myopia, medication-related risks).
