Routine eye exam 1
A routine eye exam measures your visual acuity to determine if you need glasses to improve your vision 1. Patients with vision correction needs will receive a prescription for glasses during their exam. Routine eye exams are recommended annually for all patients with vision correction needs – including children.
Routine eye exams are comprehensive and they are important for overall ocular health. We check your cornea, pupils, iris, pressures, and much more!

It’s painless and it’s fun – like a video game!
Adds test results to your medical records, allowing us to track changes over time, share data with ophthalmologists, and more!
Results are immediate and will be shared with you during your appt.
Progression of blind spots and vision loss, over 6 years4 (below).
These changes in vision are so slow and so gradual that most patients don’t even notice – which is why a Visual Field test is so important.
Don’t leave a lifetime of good vision to chance or luck. Get a Visual Field test every other year until age 40, then every year thereafter.
