A comprehensive eye exam consists of both a visual system evaluation and an overall eye health examination.

• Visual System: A series of the test is performed to evaluate how well your eyes work as a team and the focusing ability of each eye individually. We check depth perception and eye muscle balance to make sure one eye isn’t weaker than the other. A visual system exam allows us to determine the exact prescription for corrective lenses.

• Health Exam: All aspect of the eye is thoroughly examined, both the internal and external tissues. Your doctor will look for cataracts, use dilation to view the inner eye and widen your pupils, obtain eye pressure measurements to diagnose or assess your risk for glaucoma. Dilation allows a clear view of the retina. This allows your doctor to screen for serious threats to the vision and eye health such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and macular degeneration.
