FAQs

Most adults benefit from a yearly eye exam to monitor changes in vision and check for early signs of eye disease. Children should have their first exam around age three, then once a year after that unless a doctor recommends more frequent visits.

A complete exam includes checking your vision, evaluating how your eyes focus, and looking closely at the health of the front and back of your eyes. We screen for issues like dry eye, glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal conditions. The visit is comfortable, and most tests are quick and painless. It’s way easier than the dentist!
