At Valley Vision, we are committed to providing primary eye care for patients of all ages. Preventative and routine eye exams play a vital role in maintaining long-term eye health. Many eye and vision problems develop without noticeable symptoms, but a comprehensive exam with a licensed optometrist can detect issues early. By diagnosing conditions sooner, we can offer treatment options that may restore vision or prevent further vision loss.
The American Optometric Association recommends annual eye exams, or more frequent visits for those at higher risk of developing eye diseases.The American Optometric Association recommends annual eye exams, or more frequent visits for those at higher risk of developing eye diseases.
Your eye exam begins with a discussion about your visual symptoms, medications, work environment, and overall health. We also review family history and any previous eye conditions to ensure a personalized approach to your care.
Regular vision testing ensures you always have the clearest vision possible. Our optometrists perform visual acuity tests using eye charts to assess how well each eye sees at various distances. Based on the results, we may recommend prescription glasses, contact lenses, or vision therapy to enhance your sight.
Beyond standard vision checks, we evaluate depth perception, color vision, peripheral vision, and eye muscle coordination. These tests help us identify underlying conditions that could be affecting your ability to focus or track objects properly.
A critical part of every comprehensive eye exam is assessing eye health. Using magnification and bright light, we examine the surface of the eye, eyelids, and internal structures. We may dilate your pupils to get a closer look at the retina and optic nerve. Tonometry tests measure eye pressure, which can help detect signs of glaucoma and other serious eye diseases.
Routine eye care is essential to protecting your vision and overall health. Whether you need a new prescription, a vision check-up, or an evaluation for eye disease, our expert team is here to help.
