Comprehensive Eye Exams
It’s about more than just blurry vision.
Eye exams are vital to your overall health.
In addition to assessing your visual acuity, your eye care provider will test for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes are functioning together, and more.
Serious health issues like diabetes and high blood pressure are often first detected during an eye exam.
We see patients from age 3+ — schedule a comprehensive eye exam for the entire family at Heinsight Eyecare today.
Our Newly Remodeled Office: Designed with Your Experience in Mind
At Heinsight Eyecare, we’ve recently completed a major remodel to make your visit more comfortable, efficient, and personalized than ever before. Our expanded space has doubled the size of our optical area, allowing us to have three opticians instead of two and increasing our frame selection by 20%. From budget-friendly options to luxury eyewear, we’re proud to offer a wider variety of styles to meet every patient’s needs.
With more space, our opticians can take the time to work one-on-one with you, no appointment needed, to help troubleshoot eyewear concerns or find the perfect pair of glasses. We’ve also added additional exam rooms (now three total), each equipped with advanced digital phoropters to ensure precise, efficient eye exams. This update means more appointment availability and shorter wait times for our patients.
Our expanded lobby now provides a calmer, more inviting environment, with room for both receptionists to greet patients comfortably and with greater privacy. The improved office flow has also allowed us to update our technology throughout the practice, enhancing every aspect of your eye care experience.
Come see how our new space helps us serve you better: comfort, care, and clarity, all under one roof.
What does a comprehensive eye exam include?
Your optometrist will determine what tests are needed based on your medical history.
However, most comprehensive eye exams include the following:
- Visual acuity to test the sharpness of your vision, usually with an eye chart
- Visual fields test to check for blind spots in your vision
- Retinoscopy to estimate your eyeglass prescription
- Refraction to determine your exact eyeglass prescription
- Slit lamp to check for common eye diseases and conditions
- Retinal photo screenings to test for diabetic retinopathy
- Tonometry to test for glaucoma
- Ophthalmoscopy to examine the optic nerve, retina, and blood vessels
How often should I get a comprehensive eye exam?
Most eye care professionals recommend yearly eye exams. But it depends on your age, risk factors, and whether or not you wear corrective lenses.
We recommend scheduling the first exam at age 3, then again at Kindergarten age. After that, we prefer to see patients annually unless otherwise recommended by our team.
What about contact lens exams?
A comprehensive eye exam typically does not include a contact lens fitting. So you may need to schedule a separate contact lens exam.
Just let us know when you schedule your appointment, and we’ll make sure you are taken care of.
