Regular Eye Exams & Your Eye Health
Routine eye exams are crucial in detecting conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration before they become serious. Even if your vision seems fine, yearly checkups help catch underlying issues that may not show immediate symptoms, ensuring your eyes remain healthy for years to come.
What to Expect During Your Eye Exam
Our eye exams incorporate multiple important steps designed with you in mind.
- Step 1: Visual Acuity Test – We assess your ability to see at various distances to ensure your prescription is up to date.
- Step 2: Tonometry – This test measures your eye pressure to detect early signs of glaucoma.
- Step 3: Preliminary Testing – Our certified technician conducts tests like visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and refraction to prepare you for your consultation.
- Step 4: Consultation with the Optometrist – Dr. Joseph Rich or another qualified optometrist will review your medical history, address any concerns, and evaluate your eye health.
- Step 5: Treatment Plan Discussion –After your exam, the optometrist will explain the findings, discuss treatment options, and recommend corrective measures such as glasses, contact lenses, or specialized therapies.
