Complete Vision Assessment
A comprehensive eye exam goes beyond checking if you need glasses. Our thorough evaluation assesses your visual acuity, eye muscle function, peripheral vision, and the health of all eye structures including the retina and optic nerve. Early detection of conditions like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy can save your sight.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a comprehensive exam take?
Plan for 45-60 minutes, longer if dilation is performed (adds 20-30 minutes for drops to work).
Will my eyes be dilated?
Dilation is recommended for a complete view of your eye health. It causes temporary blurry near vision and light sensitivity for 3-4 hours.
Can I drive after dilation?
Some patients can, but sunglasses are essential. If you're sensitive or it's your first time, arrange a driver.
Is this different from a glasses check?
Yes. A comprehensive exam includes a full health assessment, not just a prescription update. It can detect diseases like diabetes and hypertension.
