Adult & Senior Eye Exams

Helping Keep Your Vision Sharp & Eyes Healthy

Life is full of changes, and routine and proactive vision care can help support your vibrant, healthy lifestyle at every age.

Your eyes are windows to your overall health. With regular eye exams, we can assess your vision needs and noninvasively monitor every part of your eyes, including the blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue.

Whether you’re struggling with dry eye or allergy symptoms, looking for a crisper lens prescription, or managing an eye disease, eye exams are essential. These checkups help us provide thorough and personalized eye care.

How Often Should You Get an Eye Exam?

If you’re generally in good health and have no history of eye conditions, the American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends the following general schedule for eye exams:

Ages 18–39: Every 2 years
Ages 40–64: Every 2 years
Ages 65+: Every year

We might advise that you get more frequent exams if you have certain risk factors, such as eye conditions or chronic diseases, including diabetes or high blood pressure.

Why Are Regular Eye Exams Important?

Think of your eye exam as a preventive checkup for your vision. It goes beyond updating your prescription—eye exams help us preserve your vision and support your overall well-being.

Early Detection of Eye Diseases

Many eye diseases, like cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy, often have no early symptoms. You might not see a difference, but we can identify changes to eye tissue through diagnostic testing before serious damage happens.

Regular exams help us identify, manage, and treat eye conditions early, enabling us to create personalized strategies to support better outcomes.

Overall Health Insights

Your eyes can provide clues about your overall health. In a comprehensive eye exam, we can screen for conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, immune disorders, or cardiovascular disease, which can show early signs in your eyes.

If your eye exam reveals a potential health issue, we may recommend further testing with a specialist or primary care provider.

Maintaining Clear Vision

Regular eye exams allow us to monitor changes to your vision—even the small changes that can make words on a page less crisp, cause glare when driving at night, or lead to frequent discomfort from chronic dryness or strained eyes. We can help keep your prescription up-to-date and recommend lenses designed for your vision needs to help you see clearly at all distances.

What to Expect at Your Eye Exam

Our team strives to make your eye exam experience comfortable and informative. Here’s a general overview of what you can expect:

Medical History: We’ll discuss your overall health, family history, and any current eye problems you might be experiencing.
Vision Tests: We’ll assess your visual acuity (near and far vision), depth perception, and field of vision.
Eye Health Evaluation: Using diagnostic technology, we’ll examine the internal and external structures of your eyes.
Recommendations: We’ll review your exam findings, discuss your vision needs, and recommend a course of action, which may include an updated prescription, lifestyle tips, or another form of treatment.

Examining Eye Health & Vision with Modern Technology

Getting the full picture of your eye health is vital to caring for your vision. Technology plays a significant role in assessing your eyes as it helps us see things undetectable with the unaided eye.

We use a suite of technology to evaluate your eye health, from detailed retina scans to measurements of your range of vision.

Combined with our understanding of your needs and lifestyle, this diagnostic equipment helps us create a personalized plan for supporting your long-term vision and eye health

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a noninvasive imaging technique that creates detailed cross-sectional images of your retina, the light-detecting tissue at the back of your eye.

By closely examining layers of the retina, we can monitor changes over time and watch for early signs of eye disease.

Visual Field Testing

Your visual field is everything you can see without moving your eyes, including your central and peripheral vision. A visual field test assesses whether there are any blind spots in your field of view, helping us detect potential vision loss and identify certain eye conditions.
