Comprehensive Eye Exam

A comprehensive eye exam is far more than a vision check. It's a complete look at how you see and how healthy your eyes are — and it's often where the first signs of broader health conditions appear.

What your exam covers

In a single visit, your doctor checks your vision, updates your prescription, and examines the health of your eyes inside and out.

  • Updated glasses and contact lens prescription
  • Eye pressure and glaucoma screening
  • Retinal and optic nerve health
  • Binocular vision and eye teaming
  • A look at the ocular surface for dry eye

More than a vision check

The eye is the only place a doctor can see your blood vessels and nerves directly. A routine exam can surface early signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol — often before any other symptoms appear.

Technology that sees more

We use advanced imaging so we can detect subtle changes early, and frequently without dilation.

  • Optomap wide-field retinal imaging
  • OCT imaging of the retina and optic nerve
  • Digital records to track changes over time

How often should you come in

Most healthy adults should have a comprehensive exam every one to two years — and every year if you wear contacts, are over 60, or manage a condition like diabetes.

Common Questions

Comprehensive Eye Exam, answered.

What’s the difference between a vision screening and a comprehensive exam?

A screening is a quick pass/fail check of distance clarity. A comprehensive exam evaluates your full vision along with the health of your eyes, inside and out.

Will I need to be dilated?

Sometimes. We often use optomap wide-field imaging as an alternative, and your doctor will recommend dilation when it adds real diagnostic value.
