Comprehensive Eye Exams
Has it been a while since your last eye appointment? Regular comprehensive eye exams are an important part of 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 exams
Good vision and healthy eyes are important for daily living. With more than 50 % of sight loss being preventable, getting your eyes regularly checked can help detect any 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 important. Regular eye exams also ensure your prescription is up to date so that you can enjoy an improved quality of life.
For children, regular eye exams are a vital part of their learning and development. By detecting sight issues or eye problems as quickly as possible, proper treatment can be put in place so that they can learn and play in the classroom and beyond, without impingement.
We recommend getting a comprehensive eye exam at least every 2 years.
What to expect
From start to finish, our comprehensive eye exam take about 1 hour.
There are two parts to our eye exams. 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 the vision to determine the strength of correction you may need.
If necessary, standard retinal photography and other advanced eye equipment such as using the OCT and Optomap will be used.
What happens next
Once your comprehensive eye exam is complete, Dr. Kvitle will explain the results to you. At this point, you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. Recommendations for the best course of action will be given based on factors such as your lifestyle, leisure pursuits, and working environment. Our goal is to meet your visual needs in the best way for you. Relax – you’re in safe hands!
