COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAM

More than just glasses and contact lenses!

At Eyes On Main, we take pride in our comprehensive vision and eye health evaluations. Through state-of-the art computerized testing, pretesting by our c medical assistants, and careful examination by our doctors, we assess our patient s visual system and determine what type of visual correction is best recommended for each individual patient. Visual correction may include glasses, contacts, laser vision correction, or corneal refractive therapy. Further evaluation continues with what Eyes On Main feels to be the most important part of the examination, the eye health evaluation. Glaucoma testing, dilated fundus examination, and diagnostic retinal imaging is performed to evaluate the health of the eye. Common systemic conditions detected on a routine eye examination include:

  • Diabetes
  • High Blood Pressure
  • High Cholesterol
  • Impending stroke and heart attack
  • Neurologic Disease including Multiple Sclerosis and Brain Tumors
  • Autoimmune disease including systemic lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjogren syndrome

As doctors we are the primary gatekeepers for many of the patients, and work very closely with area physicians and sub-specialists to ensure complete care for all patients.

 
CONTACT LENS FITTING AND CORNEAL EVALUATION

We fit regular and specialty contact lenses to change how you see the world. Don t think you are a candidate for contact lenses? He fits difficult prescriptions and special eyes, so be sure to ask at your next appointment if contact lenses are right for you!

Soft Lenses - These lenses are comfortable to wear and must be replaced monthly, weekly or daily depending on the type you choose. Soft lenses are often recommended for sports because they fit closer to the eye and are more difficult to dislodge. They can provide correction for most prescriptions including astigmatism. Today, with the introduction of newer materials like silicone hydrogels, which allow more oxygen to the eye, patients find it easier than ever to wear soft lenses comfortably.

Gas-Permeable (GP) Lenses - Made of moderately flexible plastics, GP lenses offer sharp vision and correct most vision problems. They are more durable than soft contact lenses and can be easier to handle and care for but require a longer adaptation period and consistent wear to maintain adaptation.

Multifocal Lenses - In both soft and GP designs, multifocal lenses offer patients both distance and near vision correction just like a pair of bifocal glasses.

Color Contact Lenses - Enhance your eye color or even change it completely. Colored contact lenses are fun and come in a variety of colors for both light and dark eyes.

Silicone Hydrogels - Silicone hydrogels are soft contact lenses that have high oxygen permeability and are comparable to GP lenses.
