Eye Care Exams

Eye care services: Our comprehensive eye care examinations include checking for glaucoma, CMV retinitis, diabetic changes, ocular damage from high blood pressure, ultra violet light damage, and a thorough evaluation of your general eye health. You should receive a comprehensive eye care examination annually.

Adult eye care: The AOA recommends an annual eye care exam for any adult who wears eyeglasses or contacts. If you don't normally need vision correction, you still need an eye care exam every two years up to the age of 40, depending on your rate of visual change and overall health. Doctors often recommend more frequent eye care examinations for adults with diabetes, high blood pressure and other disorders, because many diseases can have an impact on vision and eye health.

If you are over 40, it's a good idea to have a yearly eye care exam to check for common age related eye problems such as presbyopia, cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

Children eye care: Experts estimate that approximately 5% to 10% of preschoolers and 25% of school-aged children have vision problems. Our doctors recommend all children receive a professional eye care examination before their fourth birthday, and some sooner depending on family history and signs indicating vision issues. Dr. Tonya Watson has completed a residency in pediatric eye care and is happy to examine children as young as 9 months old.
