Comprehensive Eye Exams

A full exam checks your vision, eye health, and how well your eyes are functioning together. Testing is tailored based on your age, health history, and any symptoms you’re experiencing.

Visual acuity checks how clearly you’re seeing, usually with a standard eye chart.

Visual field testing looks for any blind spots or gaps in your side vision.

Retinoscopy helps estimate your prescription quickly and accurately.

Refraction is used to fine-tune your prescription for glasses or contacts.

Slit lamp testing allows Dr. Girardi to closely examine your eyes for signs of common conditions like cataracts, dry eye, or corneal issues.

Retinal imaging checks for issues like diabetic eye changes or signs of damage.

Tonometry is used to screen for glaucoma by measuring eye pressure.

Ophthalmoscopy provides a detailed look at the optic nerve, retina, and blood vessels to catch early signs of disease.

Most patients benefit from annual or biannual eye exams, depending on their age, health, and whether they wear corrective lenses.

• The American Optometric Association recommends exams at 6 months old, age 3, before first grade, and every year or two after that for children.

• For adults 18 to 60, exams are typically recommended every two years.

• For adults 61 and older, yearly exams are the best way to stay on top of age-related changes.

Contact lens fittings aren’t usually included in a routine eye exam. If you’re thinking about trying contacts, just let the office know when you book, that way, we will make sure to set aside time to get it done.
