Comprehensive Eye Exam

More Than Just 20/20 Vision

When was your last eye exam? If it's been a while, it's time to prioritize your eye health—not just for your vision, but for your overall well-being.
 

Why Eye Exams Matter

Comprehensive eye exams do much more than check for blurry vision. They’re a vital part of preventive healthcare. During your visit, your eye care provider will:

  • Assess your visual sharpness
  • Check for common eye diseases
  • Evaluate how well your eyes work together


And here’s something many people don’t realize: serious health conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure are often first detected during a routine eye exam.

What’s in a Comprehensive Eye Exam?

Your optometrist will tailor the exam based on your medical history, but most comprehensive exams include:

  • Visual Acuity: Measures how clearly you see, usually with an eye chart
  • Visual Fields: Detects blind spots in your vision
  • Refraction: Determine your exact eyeglass prescription
  • Slit Lamp: Checks for eye diseases and conditions
  • Retinal Imaging: Screens for diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and glaucoma
  • Tonometry: Tests for glaucoma
  • Ophthalmoscopy: Examines the optic nerve, retina, and blood vessels

How Often Should You Get an Eye Exam?


It depends on your age, health, and whether you wear corrective lenses. Here's what the American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends:
  • Children:
    • At 6 months old
    • At age 3
    • Before starting school
    • Every 2 years until age 18
      • Every year for contact lenses
  • Adults (18–60):
    • Every 2 years at minimum
      • Every year for contact lenses
  • Seniors (61+):
    • Annually
 

Thinking About Contact Lenses?

A comprehensive eye exam doesn’t typically include a contact lens fitting. If you’re interested in contacts, just let us know when you book your appointment—we’ll make sure everything’s covered.
