Testing for More than 20/20
Our vision exam tests much more than just the clarity of your eyesight (referred to as 20/20 eyesight).  A complete vision exam evaluates many important visual skills.  We evaluate depth perception, eye movement skills, ability to focus easily from near to far to near, focus endurance for near-centered tasks, color vision, visual fields and more, if necessary.  In addition, the health of your eyes, inside and out, is carefully evaluated for such problems as cataracts, glaucoma, circulatory problems, hypertension, diabetes, etc. 

Vision Exams for Children
Children should have a complete Vision Exam 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 professional demands.  Our modern world demands more from our vision than ever before.  In fact, 80 percent of all school learning tasks require close-up vision.  Adults in our hi-tech society constantly use their near vision at work and at home.  Your vision should be evaluated EVERY YEAR or more frequently if symptoms of vision problems occur.
