Eye exams
A full eye exam, and a look at your tears too
A comprehensive exam checks how well you see and how healthy your eyes are. It is for glasses, contact lenses and for finding problems early.
Because we see so many people with dry eyes, a dry eye check is part of how we look at every eye. If it turns up something, we tell you, and we book a dry eye evaluation if you want one.
Your vision, and the prescription for glasses or contact lenses
Eye pressure and the health of the front and back of the eye
A look at your tear film and eyelids
