Eye Examinations

---

A comprehensive eye examination takes approximately 30 minutes and includes:

• careful determination of your eyeglass prescription
  
• evaluation of specific visual needs such as computer use
  
• eye health evaluation, including detection of cataracts and monitoring their progression
  
• neurological and binocular evaluation
  
• color vision and depth perception when indicated
  
• measurement of intra-ocular pressure to detect glaucoma
  
• retinal examination to detect diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, and macular degeneration, and retinal holes and tears
  
• explanation of results and questions answered

When it is considered important that your pupils be dilated, you will be informed so that you will be inconvenienced as little as possible. Dilation is usually scheduled at a later visit so that work and driving activities may be adjusted as necessary, and adequate time is available to complete the procedure.
