Your Eye Exam
Our aim is to protect and optimize your vision. However, our exams are about much more than seeing 20/20 on an eye chart, or discovering if you have myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism or presbyopia-all refractive conditions of the eye. Many degenerative conditions do not have symptoms in early stages, and through the use of technology, our doctors can identify “risk factors” or “markers” of numerous eye, brain and general body health conditions, and provide necessary education to each patient on how to optimize their eye health and function. We believe educated and informed patients make the best decisions about their eye and health care.
Comprehensive Exam
In our modern society there is more demand on our eyes than ever. Regardless of one’s age, the developed adult visual system is corrected to 20/20 in each eye. Our comprehensive exam is also a “screening or scanning” of your visual system. We are searching for findings or risk factors that might be a sign of current or future problems.
The basic “insurance” exam, while adequate for assessing general visual acuity, can miss vital information that could be necessary to spur important lifestyle and nutrition changes to protect your sight. Identifying each person’s risk factors, symptoms, genes, lifestyle, and overall health is an important part of this process.
Comprehensive Plus +
Prevention and early diagnosis is key to protecting one’s vision. Our Comprehensive Plus + exam offers our doctors the most possible information about your vision and body health. This exam includes a series of modern scans, tests and imaging that are above a standard eye exam. These additional technologies include a visual field screening and high-resolution photography of the optic nerve and macula.

Our doctors use information these technologies produce to document and discover signs or progression of disease of the eye, brain and visual system. We use this information to prevent disease and protect your health and your sight.
