Your Eye Exam
The Doctors will perform several vision tests and screen your eyes for refractive error, binocular coordination, and eye health disorders. Afterwards, the optometrist will discuss your test results. They will explain your prescription and give you a better understanding of your overall eye health.
What will you experience with our doctors with a comprehensive eye exam?
Case History
Review of your general health, medications you may be taking, working environment, hobbies, etc. You will also be asked to describe any vision problems you may be experiencing.
Current Prescription Check
If you already have a prescription, our doctor will evaluate your current prescription to help determine your new one. Please bring in your current glasses and/ or wear in contact lenses if you usually wear them.
Visual Acuity
A test of your ability to see clearly at distance, mid-range and near.
Refraction
A test for your eyes' ability to focus light rays exactly on the retina from a distance and close-up. The refractive "error" is your prescription.
Visual Coordination
A test for eye muscles and your binocularity.
Tonometry
Measures the fluid pressure in the eye and is an important test in detecting glaucoma. Our office features the latest gentle air-puff tonometer.
Focusing Ability
Measures your eyes' ability to change focus from distance to near. With age this slows down, a condition called presbyopia.
Internal Eye Health
Optomap Retinal Imaging system allows our doctors to assess your eyes for retinal disorders without dilating your pupils. The doctor may still recommend dilation and will discuss this with you at your eye exam.
External Eye Health
External examination of your eyes for signs of disorders, such as poor tear layer, eye allergies, inflammation causing red eyes, etc.
