What is A Comprehensive Eye Exam

Has it been a while since your last eye appointment? Regular comprehensive eye exams are important to keeping your eyes happy and healthy. We aim to provide comprehensive eye exams using state-of-the-art equipment and the latest technology to ensure your eyes get the best treatment possible.

The Importance of Comprehensive Eye Exam

Good vision and healthy eyes are essential for daily living. With more than 50 % of sight loss being preventable, checking your eyes regularly can help detect eye conditions so that proper treatments can be put in place as quickly as possible. This can help prevent or limit eye damage or sight loss. Many sight-stealing conditions display no signs or symptoms in their early stages, making regular eye examinations even more critical. Regular eye exams also ensure your prescription is up to date so that you can enjoy an improved quality of life.

Regular eye exams are vital for children’s learning and development. By detecting sight issues or eye problems as quickly as possible, proper treatment can be implemented so that children can learn and play in the classroom and beyond without impingement.

We recommend getting a comprehensive eye exam at least every two years.

What is Included in a Comprehensive Eye Exam

From start to finish, our comprehensive eye exam takes about one hour.

Our eye exams have two parts. Dr. Kvitle will begin with a thorough eye health evaluation to check for any eye-threatening conditions, such as glaucoma, cataracts, or macular degeneration. Then, he will test your vision to determine the strength of correction you may need.

If necessary, standard retinal photography and other advanced eye equipment, such as OCT and Optomap, will be used.

What Happens Next

Once your comprehensive eye exam is complete, Dr. Kvitle will explain the results. At this point, you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. Recommendations for the best action will be based on your lifestyle, leisure pursuits, and working environment. Our goal is to meet your visual needs in the best way.  Relax – you’re in safe hands!
