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.
Don’t put it off — schedule your comprehensive eye exam at Foothills Vision Center today.
Your optometrist will determine what tests are needed based on your medical history. However, most comprehensive eye exams include the following:
At Foothills Vision Center retinal imaging is done on patients 13 years of age and older scheduled for a comprehensive eye exam.
Our doctors believe this incredible technology greatly enhances the overall eye exam by assessing the medical health of your eyes using high-resolution digital images. Retinal imaging could find signs of diseases that may not be visible during the standard eye examination.
The fee is $39.00 and with some vision plans it may be covered.
Most eye care professionals recommend yearly eye exams. But it depends on your age, risk factors, and whether or not you wear corrective lenses.
The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends children have their eyes examined at 6 months old, three years old, at the start of school, and every two years until age 18.
For adults, the AOA recommends a comprehensive eye exam every two years for ages 18 to 60 at minimum and annual exams for seniors age 61 and older.
A comprehensive eye exam typically does not include a contact lens fitting. So you may need to schedule a separate contact lens exam.
