All of our physicians specialize in primary eye care as well as ocular disease treatment. No matter what you’re here for, our friendly, professional staff gives you the attention and care you deserve so that you’ll feel supported before, during, and after your visit.

What Can I Expect During a Routine Eye Exam?

The specific tests performed during your visit will be tailored to your individual needs, current vision, and any eye conditions you may have or be at risk for developing.

Most comprehensive eye exams take between 30 minutes to an hour. Afterward, your doctor will discuss the results with you, answer any questions, and provide recommendations for corrective lenses if needed. You'll also receive personalized guidance on maintaining optimal eye health for years to come.

A comprehensive eye exam at The Eye Associates is designed to evaluate both your vision clarity and overall eye health. Your ophthalmologist will perform several important tests, which may include:
Vision test
Eye muscle test
Pupil response
Refraction test
Eye pressure test
Dilated eye exam
