Annual eye and vision examinations are an important part of preventative health care. Many eye and vision problems have no obvious signs or symptoms. As a result, individuals are often unaware that problems exist. Early diagnosis and treatment of eye and vision problems are important for maintaining good vision and eye health, and when possible, preventing vision loss.

A comprehensive eye exam consists of much more than just a refraction (obtaining your spectacle prescription). We also check your eye muscle movements, pupillary reactions, eye curvature measurements, peripheral vision testing, glaucoma testing, external and internal evaluation of your eye health.

Every child should have an eye exam BEFORE starting school. Knowledge of the alphabet by the child is not necessary for us to evaluate their eye health and vision. We have several methods of examining a child who does not respond well to traditional eye examination techniques. It is estimated up to 80% of classroom learning for children is through vision. That is why it is VITAL to make sure your child is set up for success by having a pediatric eye exam annually.

Our optometrists are trained and licensed to diagnose and treat diseases of the eye. We prescribe topical and oral medications for infections, eye inflammatory conditions, dry eyes, glaucoma and allergies. We are also trained to remove corneal foreign bodies, such as metal debris trapped on the surface of the eye while welding or cutting metal. We also work with top specialists in the area to make surgical referrals when necessary.
