Who Should Get Checked and When?
Eye exams are important for everyone, from children to adults and seniors. Even if you have no symptoms, regular eye exams help maintain healthy vision and detect problems early.
What Happens During Your Eye Exam?
Pre-testing
Before your exam, our opticians may perform quick, non-invasive screenings, like autorefraction, eye pressure checks or visual fields tests.
Autorefraction
An autorefractor measures how light changes as it enters your eyes to quickly estimate your vision prescription.
Tonometry
An autorefractor measures how light changes as it enters your eyes to quickly estimate your vision prescription.
Visual Field Tests
During a visual field test, you’ll look straight ahead while small lights flash in your side vision to check how well you can see in your peripheral view.
Retinal Imaging*
During retinal imaging, a special camera takes detailed pictures of the back of your eye without dilation. The process is quick, comfortable, and provides immediate results.

Why exactly are eye exams so important?
Disease prevention & early detection of serious health problems.
Health problems, including cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and more, can be detected during a routine eye exam. Your eye doctor can notice warning signs of systemic diseases by evaluating the blood vessel health in your retina. Many eye diseases don’t have obvious symptoms such as pain or vision changes, until a serious eye problem has developed.
Experience healthy, perfect vision at every stage of life.
You may not realize you’re missing perfect vision until you see it. For children, vision issues can affect learning, sports and social growth.
For most all ages, long hours on screens often bring digital eye strain, causing dryness, headaches, and blurred vision. Thus, eyesight can decline gradually.
Vision can deteriorate gradually, especially with age. Regular exams and prescription updates keep you seeing clearly and comfortably.
If any of the following are true, it’s time to schedule an exam:
- You experience headaches, squinting, or blurred vision.
- Driving at night has become difficult.
- You’ve noticed a sudden increase in ‘floaters,’ spots, and/or bright flashes.
- You have chronic eye pain, redness, dryness, itching, discharge, or irritated skin around the eyes.
- You’ve experienced an injury to the eye or eye area.
