Comprehensive eye exams by our doctor of optometry are an important part of caring for your eyes, vision, and overall health. We go beyond determining if you need eyeglasses or contact lenses, testing functional visual skills, which are the basis for attention and learning, as well as all aspects of eye health, detecting signs of chronic conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes in early stages, as well as glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration.
Routine comprehensive eye exams can detect potential issues early on. Many eye diseases, like glaucoma and macular degeneration, have no symptoms in the early stages but can lead to irreversible vision loss if left untreated. Regular exams ensure timely intervention and help preserve healthy vision.
A comprehensive eye exam evaluates your vision and allows for personalized correction of refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. This improves visual acuity, reduces eye strain, and enhances your overall quality of life.
Eye exams can provide valuable insights into your overall health. Eye care professionals can detect signs of systemic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and certain types of cancer by examining the eyes. Identifying these health issues early on can lead to early intervention and better health outcomes.
