Full Comprehensive Exam
$45
A comprehensive eye exam is a thorough evaluation of your eyes' health and vision performed by an optometrist. It goes beyond just checking for vision impairment and helps detect common eye diseases and indicators of broader health issues. Here’s what typically happens during a comprehensive eye exam.
Patient History
The exam usually begins with a discussion of your personal and family health history, as well as any symptoms or problems you are experiencing. This includes questions about any vision problems, your overall health, medications, and any work-related or environmental conditions that could affect your eyes.
Keratometry/
Topography
This test measures the curvature of the cornea by focusing a circle of light on the cornea and measuring its reflection. This is important for determining the proper fit for contact lenses.
Vision Tests
You'll undergo tests to evaluate the sharpness and clarity of your vision. This includes reading from an eye chart, which tests visual acuity to determine if you need glasses or contact lenses to improve your vision.
Eye Focusing, Teaming, and Movement Testing
These tests check how well your eyes focus, move, and work together. This is important to determine how your eyes interact and can identify problems that may keep your eyes from focusing effectively or make using both eyes together.
Preliminary Tests
These can include evaluations of depth perception, color vision, eye muscle movements, peripheral vision, and how your pupils respond to light.
Tonometry
This test measures the pressure inside your eyes, which is important to screen for glaucoma. The most common method uses a gentle puff of air to flatten your cornea and test the eye pressure.
Eye Health Evaluation
The optometrist examines your eye's interior and exterior health using instruments like slit lamps and ophthalmoscopes. These devices allow the doctor to look at the structures of the eye, from the cornea to the optic nerve. A slit lamp examination checks for diseases or abnormalities at the front of the eye, while an ophthalmoscope is used to look at the inside of the eye.
Refraction
This test determines your exact lens prescription. Using a device called a phoropter, the doctor places a series of lenses in front of your eyes and measures how they focus light using a handheld lighted instrument called a retinoscope. The doctor may also ask you to view a chart through different lenses to help refine your prescription.
Contact Lens Exam
$79-$89*
A contact lens exam is a specialized eye examination specifically tailored for fitting contact lenses. It's different from a regular eye exam in that it includes specific measurements and evaluations to ensure that the contact lenses fit properly and comfortably, and that they meet the wearer's vision correction needs. Here’s a brief overview of what happens during a contact lens exam:
Vision
Assessment
Just like a standard eye exam, your visual acuity will be tested to determine the level of correction needed.
Evaluation of the
Tear Film
his test checks for sufficient tear volume to maintain lens comfort and eye health, as contact lenses can exacerbate dry eye symptoms.
Corneal
Measurements
The optometrist measures the curvature of your cornea, typically using a keratometer or corneal topographer, to determine the appropriate curve and size of the contact lens.
Lens
Fitting
Based on the measurements, the optometrist selects a trial pair of lenses for fitting. You will wear these lenses for a short period, and the fit will be assessed through your feedback and the doctor's examination. The doctor checks the alignment and movement of the lenses as you blink and look in various directions.
Pupil and Iris
Measurements
These measurements help in sizing the lens correctly, especially for certain types of contacts.
Follow-Up
After the initial fitting, a follow-up visit is usually scheduled to ensure the lenses are fitting well, are comfortable, and provide the desired vision correction. Adjustments can be made if needed.
This package includes a comprehensive eye exam, a trial pair of clear contact lenses, and prescriptions for
both glasses and contacts. You'll also receive a copy of your prescription that will be emailed to you.
Color Contact Lens Exam
$79
For color lenses, this package includes a comprehensive eye exam, a trial pair of clear contact lenses, a trial pair of color contact lenses, and prescriptions for both glasses and contacts. You will also receive a copy of your prescription that will be emailed to you.
*Limited to prescriptions of Plano to -8.00. Some restrictions apply.
Monovision Contact
Lenses Exam
$79
Monovision contact lenses correct vision by using one lens for distance vision (usually in the dominant eye) and the other lens for near vision (in the non-dominant eye). The exam will involve:
Assessment of
Eye Dominance
The optometrist determines which of your eyes is dominant, a key factor in deciding how to assign the lenses.
Vision
Testing
This includes standard vision tests to ensure each eye is seeing clearly at its designated range.
Trial
Period
You will go through a trial wearing period with the monovision set up to see how well you adapt to using one eye for distance and the other for near tasks.
Adaptation
Evaluation
The optometrist evaluates how comfortably and effectively you adapt to the separation of visual fields between eyes.
Multifocal Contact
Lenses Exam
$79
Multifocal contact lenses allow multiple vision fields to be incorporated into each lens, providing a more natural visual transition from distance to near vision. The exam includes:
Detailed Vision
Assessment
To understand how your eyes work together and your specific near, intermediate, and distance vision needs.
Comfort
Assessment
Evaluating how the lenses feel in your eyes, as multifocal designs can vary in thickness and material.
Lens
Fitting
Multiple lens options may be tried to find the one that offers the best overall vision balance.
Visual Acuity and
Comfort Testing
To ensure that the lenses not only correct your vision effectively but are also comfortable for extended wear.
Both types of exams may involve more followups than a standard lens fitting to make precise adjustments and ensure optimal comfort and vision. The choice between monovision and multifocal
lenses ultimately depends on your personal preferences, lifestyle, and how well your eyes can adapt to
each lens type.
This exam includes one pair of monovision or multifocal contact lenses as well as a copy of your
prescription that will be emailed to you.
*Color monovision or multifocal contact lenses are an additional cost.
*Some restrictions apply.
