Adult Eye Exams: What to Expect
Adult eye exams are about much more than updating your glasses prescription. Our eye doctors evaluate both vision and overall eye health to help detect early signs of eye disease and systemic health conditions.
During your adult exam, we will:
- Evaluate visual acuity and determine your prescription for glasses or contact lenses
- Screen for common eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration
- Check eye coordination, depth perception, and focusing ability
- Assess overall eye health using advanced imaging and dilated exams
- Discuss lifestyle needs (work, sports, digital eye strain) to customize your vision plan
Why it’s important:
Many eye conditions develop gradually with few noticeable symptoms. Regular eye exams allow for early detection, helping protect long-term vision and eye health.
Children’s Eye Exams: Supporting Growing Vision (Ages 7+)
As children grow, clear and comfortable vision plays a major role in learning, reading, sports, and confidence. Eye exams help ensure visual development stays on track during critical school years.
Children’s eye exams include:
- Age-appropriate vision testing
- Evaluation of eye alignment and tracking
- Assessment of focusing and binocular vision (how the eyes work together)
- Screening for common conditions such as amblyopia (lazy eye) and strabismus (crossed eyes)
- Identification of refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism
When to schedule:
Once children reach school age, routine eye exams are recommended as advised by your eye doctor to support academic performance and visual comfort.
Why Regular Eye Exams Matter at Every Age
Eye exams are essential for more than just clear vision. Many health conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, and neurological concerns, can show early signs in the eyes.
Benefits of routine eye exams include:
- Early detection of eye disease
- Personalized vision correction
- Improved comfort at school, work, and daily activities
- Reduced eye strain and fatigue
- Peace of mind for you and your family
