What Is a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
An eye exam is about much more than updating your glasses or contact lens prescription. It gives our eye doctors a detailed understanding of your eye health and potential risk factors that could affect your sight in the future.
During your visit, we evaluate:
-
Your vision and prescription needs
-
How your eyes work together
-
The health of your retina, optic nerve, and surrounding structures
-
Early signs of eye diseases and vision problems
-
Changes that may affect your long-term eye health
Why Are Regular Eye Exams Important?
Many people assume they only need an eye exam when their vision becomes blurry. In reality, some of the most serious threats to your eyesight can develop long before symptoms appear. Regular eye exams can help:
-
Detect eye diseases before symptoms develop
-
Monitor changes in your vision over time
-
Identify signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and other health concerns
-
Protect your long-term eye health
-
Ensure your prescription remains accurate and comfortable
Medical Eye Evaluations
Some patients require a more focused evaluation to diagnose or manage eye conditions. Medical eye evaluations allow our optometrists to take a closer look at existing concerns and develop a treatment plan based on your needs.
Healthy vision plays an important role in a child's development and learning. Because children's eyes continue to change as they grow, routine eye exams can help identify vision problems that may impact school, sports, reading, and other activities.
A contact lens exam includes additional measurements and evaluations that help ensure your lenses provide clear vision while supporting the long-term health of your eyes. Whether you're interested in contact lenses for the first time or need specialty options for a unique vision condition, our doctors will help you find a solution that fits your lifestyle and visual needs.
What to Expect at DePoe Eye Center
Every comprehensive eye exam is tailored to the individual, but most visits include:
-
A review of your medical and vision history
-
Vision testing and prescription evaluation
-
An assessment of how your eyes work together
-
A detailed evaluation of your eye health
-
Digital retinal imaging when recommended
-
Personalized recommendations from your doctor
Our goal is to make your visit informative, comfortable, and efficient while giving you a better understanding of your vision and eye health.
Digital Retinal Imaging
Your retina plays a critical role in your vision, and many eye diseases begin in areas that are difficult to evaluate with a standard examination alone. That's why DePoe Eye Center utilizes advanced Optos® Digital Retinal Imaging as part of our commitment to preventative eye care.
This technology captures a highly detailed image of the retina, allowing our eye doctors to examine a much larger portion of the back of the eye than traditional methods. These images help us monitor changes over time and identify potential concerns before they begin affecting your vision.
Digital retinal imaging can assist in the early detection and management of conditions such as diabetic eye disease, glaucoma, retinal disorders, macular degeneration, and other sight-threatening concerns. It also provides valuable information about your overall eye health, helping us make more informed recommendations for your care.
