COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAM  

 

Annual eye exams help to ensure that you are seeing clearly and facilitate regular monitoring of your  general health and not just your about your eyes.

 

During a comprehensive eye exam, we will test your visual acuity, check for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes function together, and evaluate your overall health by looking into your eyes.

​

No matter your age or physical health, an annual eye exam can help to detect early stages of medical conditions that have no obvious signs or symptoms. Your eyes are windows to the live action of blood vessels, nerves and connective tissues throughout your body. Problems spotted in the eye are often the first signs of disease lurking elsewhere

​
