GENERAL EYE EXAMS

Every patient who comes into our practice is treated as family. During a general eye exam we will check your vision, prescription and ocular health. The human eye is the only place in the body where we can see blood vessels in vivo. This can tell us a lot about what is happening in the rest of the body. Because of this, optometrists are frequently the first health provider to see signs of diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, etc. Adults with no history of eye problems should be examined at least every other year.

PEDIATRIC EYE EXAMS

Children should have their eyes tested annually as vision plays a major role in learning and development. Since most children will not complain about their vision, look for signs that they might be having an issue:

  • Squinting

  • Covering one eye

  • An eye turn in or out

  • Constantly holding materials close to the face

  • Eye rubbing

  • Family history of vision problems

  • Head tilt

  • Difficulty keeping their place while reading or skipping lines

  • Frequent headaches

GLAUCOMA

Glaucoma is a slow, progressive disease of the optic nerve (the nerve that brings signals from our eye back to the brain for visual processing). Most of the time, a patient with glaucoma does not have any symptoms - which is why an annual eye exam is so important. Our practice has the most up to date technology (including Cirrus OCT and Octopus visual field) which allows us to provide the best care when looking for and treating glaucoma.

DIABETIC EYE EXAMS

Diabetic retinopathy is when the blood vessels in your retina become leaky or damaged. This damage can have a profound and permanent impact on vision. Risk factors for developing diabetic retinopathy include length of time with diabetes, smoking, blood sugar management, and pregnancy. People with diabetes should get an eye exam every year.
