Comprehensive Eye Exam
A comprehensive eye exam should be done routinely every 1-2 years. Your eye doctor will make her recommendation based on your results. Contact lens exams are usually recommended every year to ensure the prescription and fit are accurate. If you have a medical condition that requires closer monitoring and/or treatment, your eye doctor may advise an eye exam more than once a year and may refer you to see an ophthalmologist.

Fundus Photography:
This great device has 2 functions:
​
-
It can be used as a screening tool if dilation is not permitted during your routine eye exam. It allows the doctor to carefully evaluate your retinal health. Note: routine dilation is still the recommended and most comprehensive method of evaluating eye health.
-
It can be used to monitor changes and/or progression of eye conditions. If there is a finding that the doctor would like to document, this procedure will likely be recommended.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT):
We now offer even more detailed imaging for your eye health evaluation. This device takes cross-section pictures of your retina, like a CT scan. Our doctor can map and measure the underlying retinal layers. These measurements help with diagnosis and provide treatment guidelines for glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and more.
