Adult & Senior Eye Exams in Oviedo, FL

Primary Eye Care From a Team You Can Trust

Whether or not you have healthy eyes and good vision, the American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends that adults and seniors have an eye exam every 1 to 2 years as part of their regular preventative healthcare measures. Not only will regular eye exams determine if you need corrective lenses, but they are essential to catching more serious problems that can lead to vision loss later in life.

Our skilled team of eye care professionals care about your eye health and work directly with you to help keep your eyes strong and healthy throughout your life.

What Is Involved in an Eye Exam?

Eye exams involve tests that determine how clear your vision is and check for eye diseases. A comprehensive eye exam includes a conversation about your personal and family history along with a discussion about all prescription medications you’re on and whether or not you currently wear corrective eyewear, like glasses or contacts. This discussion will help your optometrist assess whether you are high-risk or low risk and customize your exam to your specific needs.

Once your optometrist has a clear understanding of your history and requirements, they will:

• Check your visual acuity and determine if you need corrective lenses
• Look at your pupillary response to light, eye movement, and internal eye pressure
• Check the health of your eyelids, lenses, corneas, and irises, the retina, and optic nerve, to look for signs and symptoms of more serious issues.

Your optometrist will also evaluate your depth perception, peripheral vision, and color vision.

After all tests have been completed, your optometrist will determine your prescription and recommend when you should return for your next appointment, and provide you with any treatment plans for other issues that you should follow. If you’re looking for a new pair of glasses or contact lenses, we have a skilled and certified optician who can help you to find something that suits your lifestyle and personality.
