Adult & Senior Eye Exams

Primary Eye Care

Eye exams are an important tool for determining your overall eye health. Of course, assessing your vision at a variety of distances is important, but a comprehensive eye exam digs deeper.

We use a variety of tools and technology to view the internal and external structures of the eye, and look closely for any signs of eye disease.

Many eye diseases do not show symptoms in the beginning, so it is vital to see you regularly and establish a baseline for your health. That way, we can monitor your eyes and keep track of any changes that occur from one appointment to the next.

You will be a part of the entire process. We’ll keep you informed of any findings and, of course, answer any questions you have throughout the duration of the exam.

How Often Do I Need an Exam?

We recommend that patients get an eye exam at least every 12 to 24 months. Vision is important for daily routines and activities, and it deserves regular attention.

Even if you feel your eyesight has stayed the same, there may have been developments that you’re not aware of. For optimal eye health and to assess any changes in vision, be sure to book regular eye exams.

If there are any vision issues or health conditions, we may recommend a more frequent exam schedule for you. As with all of our care, we personalize the experience for your needs.

What Happens During an Eye Exam?

Every eye exam begins with a friendly greeting! When you come to our clinic, we’ll make you feel like family.

When the exam begins, if you are a first-time patient, we will get to know you a little better to try and understand you and your eye health. We’ll ask some questions about your family health history. If you are taking any medications or have any concerns, please let us know.

We will perform a series of tests to check your vision. These tests help us discover any changes in specific areas of your vision, including:

We also use this opportunity to check for eye diseases. Certain diseases can often go undetected until irreversible damage occurs. Our optometrist is able to catch many of these diseases in their early stages during the exam. This helps ensure your long-term eye health.
