Comprehensive Eye Exam

What are the Limitations of a Vision Screening?

Vision screenings only check how well you can see things at a distance (called visual acuity). Many people may not realize that basic vision screenings performed at the primary care office, schools or the DMV aren't a substitute for a comprehensive eye exam, which is necessary to detect a wider range of eye health issues.

What are the Benefits of a Comprehensive Eye Exam?

A comprehensive eye exam checks both the outside and inside of your eyes, looking for signs of disease and testing your vision in several ways:

• External Exam: Evaluates the whites of your eyes, iris, pupils, eyelids, and eyelashes.

• Internal Exam: Examines the retina and optic nerve after your eyes are dilated or undilated wide-field retinal photo.

• Visual Function and Eye Health: Tests depth perception, color vision, peripheral vision, pupil response to light, and evaluates eye focusing, teaming, and movement.

• Glaucoma Testing: Measures fluid pressure in your eyes to check for glaucoma.

• Visual Acuity: Tests how well you see with different lenses to determine if glasses or contacts are needed.
