Adult & Senior eye exams
Annual eye exams are recommended for adults and seniors. A comprehensive eye exam not only tests your eyeglass prescription but also tests for a variety of common ocular health conditions and disease. Conditions such as cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and macular degeneration are just a few that can only be detected only through a comprehensive eye examination.
- A friendly staff member will start the exam with computerized automated refraction and eye pressure testing. You will then see the doctor.
- The exam will start off with a thorough history of your previous eye exams, medications, and family medical history. The doctor will then check your eyeglass prescription for distance and near/computer vision.
- A detailed ocular health assessment follows, where cataracts, glaucoma, retinal disease and a host of other conditions are evaluated. Pupillary dilation may be required. Advanced testing such as Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Retinal Photos, Visual Field testing may be recommended.
- The doctor will then summarize the results and provide a written prescription.
