Vision Testing

Regular vision testing and evaluations ensure that you always have the clearest vision possible. Your optometrist will measure how each eye is seeing by using a computerized eye chart and a reading eye chart. The results of these tests are portrayed as a fraction, with 20/20 being the standard for normal distance and reading vision. Depending on the results of your vision test, your optometrist may prescribe corrective glasses, contacts, or eye exercises.

Eye Function Testing

Ever feel like your eyes can’t focus? An eye exam in our clinic includes testing eye functionality. Our optometrists perform several tests to evaluate:

• Depth perception
• Color vision
• Eye muscle capabilities
• Peripheral vision
• Responsiveness to light

Several other simple tests are completed to determine whether your eyes are:

• Focusing
• Moving
• Working together

Test results enable your optometrist to diagnose any underlying conditions that may be impairing your eyes ability to focus or work together.

Eye Health Evaluation

During the eye health evaluation your optometrist will use a microscope to inspect the frontal structures of the eye and add a series of lenses to examine inside of the eye. All full eye exams include wide field digital retinal imaging called an Optomap. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scans are also utilized when needed. OCTs help us understand the risk and extent of Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration and other diseases of the retina.
