What Is Comprehensive Eye Care?
Comprehensive eye care is when an eye doctor examines your overall eye health to diagnose and treat potentially harmful eye conditions.
A comprehensive eye exam also allows your eye doctor to find any early signs of various eye conditions including those prevalent in your family’s health history.
Comprehensive eye care also includes diagnosing and treating a wide variety of eye conditions, such as:
Dry eye
Glaucoma
Cataracts
Diabetic retinopathy
Macular degeneration
A comprehensive eye exam can also detect the onset of other health conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
If you wear contacts or eyeglasses, comprehensive eye care includes a review of your prescriptions and updates, if needed. Our doctors will help you find the most comfortable option to improve your vision.
What to Expect During an Eye Exam
An eye exam will normally take about an hour and a half to complete. During this time, the eye doctors screen your eyes for multiple issues, such as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy.
At the beginning of an eye exam, your eye doctor will ask if you have been experiencing any vision problems or have a family history of certain health issues.
Be sure to bring your glasses or contact lenses to your eye exam so your eye doctor can ensure they are providing proper correction for your refractive error.
During the eye exam, your eye doctor can perform several different diagnostic tests such as:
Visual acuity test: a process that determines your ability to read small letters on a standardized chart
Refraction test: a vision acuity test with assistance from prescription lenses
Slit lamp test: a test that occurs when your eyes are dilated and allows your eye doctor to look at the front and inside of your eye
Glaucoma test: a simple screening that occurs when your eyes are dilated, measures the inner eye pressure
