Family Eyecare Exams/Evaluation

Routine Comprehensive Eye Exam

  • Refraction to test visual acuity or sharpness of vision determining level of farsightedness, nearsightedness, astigmatism and ability to focus.
  • Check overall health of eyes with biomicroscope
  • Detect strabismus also known as ‘lazy eye’, poor depth perception or binocular vision problems
  • Examine retina
  • Detect for glaucoma

Contact Lens Fitting

  • Determine refractive power needed for the lens of each eye
  • Measure base curvature of each cornea and diameter needed for lenses
  • Determine contact lens ability to correct astigmatisms or need for bifocal lenses
  • Discuss color and how often to replace your contact lenses

Digital Retinal Photography

Family Eyecare now offers High Resolution Retinal Photography, which uses a computer-integrated digital imaging system to record a detailed view of the retina. Since nothing touches the eye, photo-documentation is painless. The image is immediately available to view by doctor and patient to make a quicker diagnosis.

Retinal photography assists in the detection and management of problems such as diabetic changes. About 25% of diabetics can also have bleeding eye which can be detected effectively with Digital Retinal Photography. Family Eyecare recommends an evaluation at least once a year for early detection and treatment.

Digital Retina Photography is also used in finding hypertensive retinopathy, macular degeneration, optic nerve disease, and retinal holes.
