Eye & Vision Exams

Vision Testing

Regular vision testing and evaluations ensure that you always have the clearest vision possible. Our optometrist provides a visual acuity test as part of a comprehensive eye exam. He or she will measure how each eye is seeing by using a wall eye chart and a reading eye chart. The results of these tests are portrayed as a fraction, with 20/20 being the standard for normal distance and reading vision. Depending on the results of your vision test, our optometrists may prescribe corrective glasses, contacts, or eye exercises.

Eye Function Testing

In addition to vision testing, an eye exam in all of our locations will include testing eye functionality. Our optometrist performs several tests to evaluate depth perception, color vision, eye muscle capabilities, peripheral vision, and responsiveness to light. Several other simple tests are completed to determine whether the eyes are focusing, moving, and working together properly. The test results enable our optometrists to diagnose any underlying conditions that may be impairing the eyes ability to focus or work together.

Eye Health

As part of a comprehensive eye exam, your eye care provider will examine the overall health of the eye through visual examination and tonometry. He or she will evaluate eye health by visually inspecting the eye and eyelids using magnification and a bright light. To examine the internal structures of the eye he or she may dilate the pupils. Increased eye pressure may be an indicator of glaucoma, so we utilize tonometry to measure eye pressure. After completing these short tests, our providers will review the results and discusses any recommended treatments with you. Contact us at (517) 279-7927 today to schedule a comprehensive eye exam.
