Comprehensive Eye Exams:
Periodic eye and vision examinations are an important part of preventive health care. Many eye and vision problems have no obvious signs or symptoms. As a result, individuals are often unaware that problems exist. Early diagnosis and treatment of eye and vision problems are important for maintaining good vision and eye health, and when possible, preventing vision loss.
Contact Lens Exams:
Contact lenses are miraculous pieces of plastic that allow you to see without glasses. In most cases, contact lenses are used as a substitute for eyeglasses, allowing you more freedom to enjoy the outdoors, sports, and are perfect for vacations. Contact lenses may also be used to treat certain eye diseases or may be used for cosmetic purposes to change the apparent color of your eyes. A contact lens exam is required every year in order to continue wearing them and assure the safety of this device.
Pediatric Vision Exams:
According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), infants should have their first comprehensive eye exam between 6 to 12 months of age. Children then should receive additional eye exams just before they enter kindergarten or the first grade at about age 5 or 6. Pre-school children can have their eyes thoroughly tested even if they don’t yet know the alphabet or are too young or too shy to answer the doctor’s questions. Some common eye tests used specifically for young children include:

Random Dot Stereopsis
Uses dot patterns to determine how well the two eyes work as a team.
In today’s high tech world many of you have heard the term high definition.
Digital lenses are synonymous with what HD stands for because they too offer better visual picture and sharper definition throughout the entire visual surface of your lenses!
It is important to understand the lens material for digital lenses is no different than the standard lens material. How the lens is manufactured is what sets digital lenses apart.
To create these lenses an advanced digital technology is used to resurface the lens allowing for greater precision over the entire lens surface. This enables your prescription to be the exact same strength on the very outer edges of your lenses as it is in the middle. Surfacing the lenses this way provides you with more visual comfort, improved peripheral vision, sharper definition and less eye fatigue.
Digital lenses also allow more versatility in lens shapes in regards to prescription so you are not limited on frame styles because of your prescription needs. Please watch the video below for more information about this exciting technology!
