Comprehensive Eye Exam

More than a vision check—your eyes deserve the full picture.

Not Just a Vision Screening

If you've recently passed a quick screening, you might think:

“My vision is fine—I don’t need a full exam.”

But vision screenings only check for visual acuity (how clearly you see at a distance). It’s like checking your blood pressure and skipping the rest of your physical—helpful, but incomplete.

At Slabtown Eye Care, we provide a complete evaluation of your visual function and eye health—because your eyes deserve more than a glance.

What Vision Screenings Miss
Most screenings are limited in scope and equipment. Here’s what they typically don’t include:

• Internal or external eye health evaluation
• Testing for depth perception, color vision, or side vision
• Analysis of how well your eyes focus or work together
• Glaucoma pressure checks
• Personalized prescription testing

They’re often conducted by non-specialists at schools, health fairs, or during general checkups. Even when done in a medical office, they lack the tools and training of an optometrist.

What’s Included in a Slabtown Eye Care Exam

Your comprehensive eye exam includes:

External Eye Evaluation
We examine the lids, lashes, iris, and conjunctiva for any visible concerns.

Internal Eye Health Check
Using dilation or retinal imaging, we assess your retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels for signs of disease.

Vision Function Testing
We test depth perception, color vision, peripheral vision, and how well your eyes focus and work together.

Refraction (Lens Prescription)
We determine your exact glasses or contact lens prescription through precision testing.

Glaucoma Screening
A painless pressure test helps detect early signs of glaucoma.

Whole-Body Care Starts With the Eyes
Your eye health is deeply connected to your overall well-being. That’s why we also review:

• Your medical and family history
• Medications you’re currently taking
• Conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes
• Lifestyle factors like smoking or sun exposure

This whole-health approach helps us give you the most accurate care—and catch issues early.

How Often Should You Get an Exam?

American Optometric Association Recommendations:

• Ages 18–60: Every 1–2 years
• Ages 61 and up: Every year
• More frequently if you wear contacts or have medical conditions

Protect Your Sight for the Long Term

Your eyes change over time—sometimes without noticeable symptoms. A comprehensive exam helps us stay ahead of those changes.
