COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAM

More than just glasses and contact lenses!

At our office, we take pride in our comprehensive vision and eye health evaluations. Through state-of-the art computerized testing, pretesting by our medical assistants, and careful examination by our doctors, we assess our patient's visual system and determine what type of visual correction is best recommended for you.

Visual correction may include glasses or contacts. Further evaluation continues with what our office feels to be the most important part of the examination, the eye health evaluation. Glaucoma testing, dilated fundus examination, and diagnostic retinal imaging is performed to evaluate the health of the eye. Common systemic conditions detected on a routine eye examination include:

• Diabetes
• High Blood Pressure
• High Cholesterol
• Impending stroke and heart attack
• Neurologic Disease including Multiple Sclerosis and Brain Tumors
• Autoimmune disease including systemic lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjogren's syndrome

As doctors we are the primary gatekeepers for many of our patients, and work very closely with area physicians and sub-specialists to ensure complete care for you.
