Why get a comprehensive annual eye exam?
Also known as a well-vision exam, this is like your routine annual physical, but for your eyes. You may not even have a complaint, but we check everything from A to Z. Why? Because most most things that go wrong with eyes have no pain, no symptoms or awareness. For example, patient’s that have the blinding disease called Glaucoma have elevated eye pressure but have no pain. It’s kind of like getting your blood pressure checked, and we all know high blood pressure causes no pain; it just has to be checked. We recommend a yearly preventative eye health exam. It’s always cheaper to keep you healthy than fix you up when you are sick.
What if I need my vision checked for glasses?
No problem. During you annual eye exam, we will check to see if you need a new corrective prescription or your old one updated. It just takes a few minutes with out automated and synchronized testing equipment. People worry about making the correct lens choices. You know, “which is better 1 or 2?” Don’t worry, our process will not let you make a mistake.
What if I need my vision checked for contact lenses or LASIK?
Contact lenses are a wonderful option for those who are not in love with glasses. Your suitability for contact lenses, LASIK and Overnight Corneal Reshaping, will be discussed during your routine eye exam. Nowadays you have lots of options. Fortunately, we stock 1000s of lenses to most likely fit you in lenses the same day.
