It is very important for our McCordsville patients to have comprehensive eye exams. They are just as important as having a physical from your primary care doctor. Regular eye exams are important for your overall health. Many vision problems go undetected, as many do not show any symptoms. That is why early detection is key to saving your eyes from further problems down the road.

During your comprehensive eye exam, your medical history will be evaluated and discussed with your McCordsville Eye Doctor. Questions such as your family history, prescriptions you are taking and work environment will be asked.

A visual acuity will be assessed. This test uses the Snellen chart and you will read letters from 20 feet away. A refraction test is performed to check for any refractive error that your eyes may have. If needed, this test will determine what lens you will need. Other tests such as depth perception, eye pressure, eye movement, peripheral vision and baseline colors will be concluded. Your eyes will be dilated to evaluate the retina, lens and back of the eye also. A full examination of the outer eye will performed as well.

After all of the tests are performed and the findings are reviewed, your eye doctor will go over in detail the overall health of your eyes and determine what treatment plan, if any need to be taken. We allow our McCordsville patients plenty of time to discuss any issues they are having so we can get them back on track.
