Testing for More than 20/20 Vision
The clarity of your sight (referred to as 20/20 vision) is only one of our many concerns. The visual evaluation will reveal how well your eyes work together as a team. Depth perception, eye movement skills, ability to focus easily from near to far and back again, focus endurance for near-centered tasks, color vision, and visual fields are among the many tests of visual performance.
During the visual evaluation, the health of your eyes, inside and out, is carefully evaluated for such problems as cataracts, glaucoma, circulatory problems, hypertension, diabetes, etc. We are part of a wide network of health professionals and will direct any patient in need of vision care to the most appropriate source as quickly as possible should we detect any abnormality beyond our scope of care. When required, additional special testing of visual and cognitive performance is available right here in our office; for those patients with low vision, brain injury/stroke, computer vision syndrome and learning problems can be tested without leaving the office.
Vision Exams for Children
Children should have a complete Visual Evaluation at the ages of 6 months and 3 years. Thereafter, they should have complete visual evaluations on a yearly basis with the first evaluation occurring the summer prior to entry into Kindergarten.
Vision Exams for Adults
A thorough vision evaluation and follow-up care on a regular basis are very important for early detection and treatment of eye health problems and for prevention of vision problems created by or aggravated by today's academic and vocational demands. Your vision should be evaluated EVERY YEAR or more frequently if symptoms of vision problems occur.
Our modern world demands more from our vision than ever before. Adults in our technological society constantly use their near vision at work and at home. In fact, C.V.S. (Computer Vision Syndrome) is the fastest growing health concern in the work area today.
