Comprehensive

Eye Exam

What are the Limitations of a Vision Screening?

Vision screenings only test your ability to see clearly in the distance. This is called visual acuity and is just one factor in your overall vision. Others include color vision, peripheral vision, and depth perception. The screening also doesn’t evaluate how well the eyes focus up close or work together. Most importantly, it doesn’t give any information about the health of the eyes.

Vision screenings are conducted by individuals with limited training and equipment

Vision screenings are offered in many places – schools, health fairs, as part of a work physical, or for a driver’s license. Even if your physician conducts the screening, they are a generalist and only have access to a certain amount of eye health training. Most individuals don’t have the equipment or knowledge to give you a complete assessment of your vision or eye health.

What are the Benefits of a Comprehensive Eye Exam?

Comprehensive eye exams evaluate all aspects of your vision and eye health.

External Exam

This is an evaluation of the whites of your eyes, the iris, pupil, eyelids, and eyelashes.

Internal Exam

This is an evaluation of the retina and optic nerve while your eyes are dilated.

Visual Acuity

Your doctor will test your vision with different lenses to determine if glasses or contact lenses can improve your vision.

Glaucoma Testing

This is a test of fluid pressure within your eyes to check for the possibility of glaucoma.

Visual Function and Eye Health

This includes testing depth perception, color vision, peripheral vision, and the response of the pupils to light, as well as an evaluation of eye focusing, eye teaming, and eye movement abilities.

Dry Eye

This includes determining what might be the root cause of your dry eye symptoms and how to best treat it. We offer thermoflow treatments to improve the function of meibomian glands.
