Frequently Asked Questions

A comprehensive eye exam consists of both a visual system evaluation and an overall eye health examination.

• Visual System: A series of the test is performed to evaluate how well your eyes work as a team and the focusing ability of each eye individually. We check depth perception and eye muscle balance to make sure one eye isn’t weaker than the other. A visual system exam allows us to determine the exact prescription for corrective lenses.

• Health Exam: All aspect of the eye is thoroughly examined, both the internal and external tissues. Your doctor will look for cataracts, use dilation to view the inner eye and widen your pupils, obtain eye pressure measurements to diagnose or assess your risk for glaucoma. Dilation allows a clear view of the retina. This allows your doctor to screen for serious threats to the vision and eye health such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and macular degeneration.

Most people are great candidates for contact lenses—even if you’ve been told otherwise in the past. Today’s lenses are more comfortable, breathable, and customizable than ever.

You may be a good fit if you:

• Want freedom from glasses for sports, work, or everyday life

• Have nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism

• Are interested in options for dry eyes or sensitive eyes

• Are a parent exploring myopia management for your child

There are also specialty lenses available for more complex prescriptions, including multifocal lenses and custom designs.

The best way to know for sure is with a contact lens evaluation. We’ll look at your eye health, lifestyle, and vision needs to recommend the safest and most comfortable option for you.

Myopia, also called nearsightedness, is a common condition where distant objects appear blurry while close-up vision remains clear. It often develops in childhood and can progress as your child grows.

Early detection is key. Children should have their first comprehensive eye exam around age 4–5, or sooner if you notice:

• Squinting to see the board at school

• Sitting very close to screens or holding books close

• Complaints of headaches or eye strain

Regular eye exams allow us to catch myopia early and offer management options to slow its progression, helping protect your child’s vision for the long term.
