Eye Exams

Eye Exam Details

Our eye exams include a full eye health checkup. This means you'll be having your eyes dilated with drops so that the doctor can see into your eyes. However, dilatation is optional. When the doctor looks into your eyes, they will note any health concerns and explain them to you. Additionally, we will take a picture of the back of your eyes (called OCT retinal imaging).

Advanced Technology

We use the latest medical technology in our eye exams. This means that your Optometrist will understand your eye health even better. The best technology means we can offer better visual correction and detect early signs of eye health conditions in order to treat them as promptly and efficiently as possible.

OCT and Eye Exams

OCT or Optical Coherence Tomography is a special type of 3D photograph. To clarify, an OCT machine creates a cross sectional image of the back of your eye (called the retina). Your Optometrist uses an OCT image in the early detection of health concerns. For example, OCT images help your Optometrist detect and treat Macular Degeneration, Macular holes, Glaucoma, and various other retinal diseases. While those conditions sound scary, our Optometrists are experts in eye health. Regular eye exams and preventative education can help keep health problems from developing.
