Center For Eye Care: On The Cutting Edge of Advanced Specialty Eye Care

Comprehensive Eye Exams

 

The Center for Eyecare performs complete eye exams for individuals age five years old and older.  Routine eye exams are one of the best ways to protect your vision.  Eye exams can detect eye problems at their earliest stage — when they are most treatable.  A complete eye exam typically includes an evaluation of vision with a refraction (determination of a possible prescription for glasses), papillary exam, movements of each eye, visual fields, external exam of the eyes, biomicroscopic (slit lamp) exam, eye pressure and dilated exam of the back of the eyes (fundus).  Many of these tests will be performed with the latest in computerized testing devices and/or with the finest in ophthalmic instruments.

Payment for services is requested at the time of your visit.  This will help keep our expenses down, which means lower costs for you.  Our staff would be happy to submit a claim to your medical insurance plan for eye care services.  Please have your insurance card(s) and a referral form (if applicable) with you when you come to the office.
Two types of drops are usually instilled during the examination.  One drop is a topical anesthetic with a dye to check the eye pressure.  The other drop is a dilating drop so that the back of the eye may be visualized.  This dilating drop typically lasts four to six hours and causes near vision to be blurry and for patients to be very light sensitive.  Please be sure to bring sunglasses and/or a driver if you so choose.
