Full-Spectrum Eye Exams

Regularly seeing your optometrist is just as important to your overall health as seeing your family doctor.

Even if your vision is excellent, the American Optometric Association recommends that adults under 65 have an eye exam every 2 years. The exam is a chance for us to detect any early-stage eye conditions and test the sharpness of your vision.

We’ll also address symptoms you might not have realized could be related to an eye condition, like dry eyes or headaches caused by digital eye strain.

Do You Have Dry Eyes?

You may have dry eye disease if you experience the following:

Stinging, burning, or gritty eyes
Light sensitivity
Tired eyes
Eye redness
Rosacea

Millions of Americans have dry eyes, and many of them are undiagnosed. They may not even realize their dry eyes are not typical. Dry eyes can be extremely frustrating, but treatment is available.

We believe in treating every patient’s dry eyes with a personalized treatment plan that targets the particular cause at the root of their symptoms. This includes intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy for many of our patients, which uses gentle light energy to stimulate their tear glands and relieve dry eye symptoms.

Technology for
Disease Detection

One of the most important parts of your eye exam is the opportunity for us to detect eye diseases at their earliest stages before symptoms arise. Early detection means we can start treatment right away, which gives us a better chance of preserving your vision.

In your eye exam, we’ll evaluate the health of the inner structures of your eyes with noninvasive imaging such as optical coherence tomography, which gives us a cross-section picture of your retina, and a wide-angle Optomap image that includes a look at the blood vessels in your retina.

Our testing can reveal eye diseases and conditions, including glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and age-related macular degeneration. It can also detect systemic health issues like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and stroke.
