​​​​​​​Comprehensive Exams for Adults

Our exams are so much more than a basic glasses prescription! We take the time to understand your concerns, medical history, and how you use your eyes on a daily basis. This allows us to offer customized vision solutions for your lifestyle. More importantly, we perform an in-depth examination of your ocular health to rule out sight-threatening conditions. 

Our exams typically include a refraction to find your prescription for glasses as well as a dilated exam or Optomap retinal imaging to evaluate the internal structures of the eye looking for signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other eye disease. Periodic examinations are a vital aspect of preventative eye care. Without routine eye exams, many eye and vision problems go undetected since some eye disorders have no obvious symptoms.

​​​​​​​Comprehensive Pediatric Exams for Children 4 and older

Being a family optometry practice means caring for kids too, and that’s just what we do! School and pediatrician screenings are not sufficient to recognize many vision problems; we recommend your child’s first exam be before kindergarten (or earlier if you suspect any problems). A thorough investigation of your child's overall health of the eye and visual system is important. Good eyesight is critical for a child’s life and achievements since success in school is closely tied to eye health. School demands intense visual involvement, including reading, writing, using computers, and blackboard/smartboard work.

Our comprehensive eye exams for children, ages four and up, include many of the same procedures that are performed on adults. Undiagnosed vision problems can be the cause of some learning difficulties. Having your child’s eyes examined early may help improve performance in both the classroom and in sports. Possible corrections include spectacles, contact lenses, and sports goggles. Pediatric patients ages 4-7 should see Dr. Lawrence.

​​​​​​​Soft Contact Lens Evaluation

After you have completed your comprehensive examination, we can provide additional contact lens services to our patients.
