Contact Lens Wearers

Routine Comprehensive Eye Exams
While clear vision is important, a comprehensive eye exam can do more than just give you a prescription for glasses. The eyes are truly a window into other parts of your overall health. Our doctors take the time to evaluate our patient's concerns, medical history, and lifestyle to find the best possible treatments for our patient's specific needs. From infants to seniors, we welcome patients of all ages. Routine vision services are billable to many vision insurance providers (call to make sure we participate). During a comprehensive exam the doctor will evaluate: |
|
- Refractive error: nearsighted, farsighted, or astigmatism
- Focusing issues, including presbyopia, strabismus, and amblyopia
- Eye diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma
- Other diseases, such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, can often be detected in an eye exam
Our office offers patients an alternative option to dilation drops - Check out the OptoMap here.

There are additional fees associated with this service, and many vision insurance benefits offer discounts or cover the evaluation entirely (call our office to verify eligibility.) Contact lens services include:
