EYE EXAMS FOR ALL AGES

Eye exams are an important part of preventive health care. We provide a thorough checkup both to ensure you’re seeing properly and to detect any early signs of eye disease.

Every pair of eyes is unique. We’ll take the time to get to know you and understand your lifestyle, concerns, and eyewear needs. Our treatments are tailored to you and we’ll always explain any procedures or tests to ensure your comfort.

If we determine that you need corrective lenses, you’ll love shopping our extensive selection of the latest brands and frame styles. Book your appointment and meet our friendly team today!

HOW OFTEN YOU SHOULD GET A CHECK UP

Early Adulthood (Ages 18-39)
In the prime of your life, your eyes might seem invincible, but they still require care. If you have no visual complaints and no risk factors for eye diseases, we recommend an eye exam every 5 to 10 years. For those who wear glasses or contact lenses, we advise more frequent visits, ideally every 1 to 2 years, to ensure your prescription is optimal. Adults with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye disease should consult with our eye care professionals for a personalized exam schedule.

Midlife Vigilance (Ages 40-54)
As you approach and navigate through your 40s, changes in vision and eye health can become more prevalent. We suggest an eye exam every 2 to 4 years for adults in this age group. This period marks a time when the risk for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration begins to increase, making regular check-ups crucial for early detection and management.

Senior Screening (Ages 55-64)
For adults aged 55 to 64, we recommend an eye exam every 1 to 3 years. Maintaining regular check-ups during these years is vital, as the risk of developing eye diseases continues to rise. Regular monitoring allows us to catch any changes early and manage them effectively, preserving your vision and quality of life.

Golden Years Care (Ages 65+)
Our senior patients, those aged 65 and older, should schedule an eye exam every 1 to 2 years. This age group is at the highest risk for conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Regular exams are key to early detection and treatment, ensuring you maintain the best possible vision and eye health.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN EYE EXAM?

When you first walk into our practice, you’ll be greeted by our friendly team. If you’re a new patient, we’ll ask some questions about your health history, lifestyle, and current medications. We’ll discuss your family history, give you time to ask questions, and address any concerns.

Comprehensive eye exams are more than just a vision test. Our questions about your health and family history are designed to help us assess your risk factors for eye disease or other vision conditions.

During the exam, we will carefully and thoroughly evaluate both the internal and external structure of the eye using the latest technology. We will measure your visual acuity to determine whether you need corrective lenses, or if your prescription is up-to-date if you already have them.

We may also assess your color vision, how well the eyes work as a team, depth perception, and the way your pupils respond to light.
