The American Optometric Association recommends a comprehensive eye exam at least once every two years for adults aged 18 to 60 to maintain optimal vision health and catch potential issues early.
For children and teenagers, exams should occur annually or as an eye doctor advises. Eye exams on an annual basis are beneficial for those over age 60, people with existing eye conditions, and anyone experiencing vision changes.
Adhering to your advised eye check-up schedule is crucial for tracking age-related vision changes, assessing how well contact lenses or glasses prescriptions work, detecting disease signs, and maintaining the healthiest eyes possible over the long run. Our skilled optometrist will tell you how often to check in based on your needs.
Contact Lens Fittings
Are you ready to ditch the frames and embrace the liberating world of contact lenses? We're your trusted guide on this journey, starting with a personalized contact lens fitting that ensures comfort, clarity, and a perfect fit for your unique eyes.
Forget one-size-fits-all solutions. Your contact lens journey begins with a comprehensive eye exam that goes beyond the standard vision test. Here's what you can expect:
- Detailed corneal mapping: Utilizing advanced technology like corneal topography, we create a precise map of your eye's surface, identifying any irregularities that could impact lens fit and performance.
- Tear film analysis: Healthy tears are essential for comfortable lens wear. We evaluate your tear quality to ensure your chosen lenses won't cause dryness or irritation.
- Discussion and customization: We listen to your preferences and the desired wear schedule (daily, extended, multifocal, etc.) to tailor the perfect lens material, brand, and parameters for your unique needs.
- Trial lens fitting: This is where the magic happens! We'll gently place different trial lenses on your eyes, evaluating their fit, movement, and comfort with each blink. This crucial step allows us to fine-tune the lens parameters and find the Goldilocks fit that's just right.
Pediatric Eye Exams
Early detection and care ensure children develop and maintain good vision. Pediatric eye exams are pivotal in monitoring a child's vision development and detecting potential issues impacting their learning and overall well-being.
When to Schedule Pediatric Eye Exams:
- Infancy (6 to 12 months): A child's first comprehensive eye exam is recommended between six and 12 months to evaluate eye health and eye movement and ensure proper vision development.
- Preschool Years (3 to 5 years): Additional exams during these years help detect any visual issues that might affect learning readiness or cause developmental delays.
- School-Age (6 years and above): Annual eye exams are crucial as children enter school, ensuring optimal vision for academic success and identifying any refractive errors or vision problems that may impact learning.
Why Pediatric Eye Exams Matter:
Regular eye exams for children can detect vision issues early, allowing for prompt intervention and treatment. Early identification and management of vision problems are crucial for a child's academic success, social development, and overall quality of life.
