Comprehensive Eye Exams vs. Vision Screenings

While vision screenings are valuable for detecting basic vision issues, they are not as thorough as comprehensive eye exams. Vision screenings often assess visual acuity only, and while they can identify the need for glasses or contacts, they may miss underlying eye conditions.

A comprehensive eye exam is an evaluation conducted by an eye care professional, delving deep into your ocular health. This comprehensive approach allows for early detection of conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, leading to timely interventions and personalized treatments.

What to Expect During The Exam?

You can expect a series of tests to evaluate various aspects of your ocular health and vision. These typically include:
