Schedule Eye Exam

Your Vision. Your Future.

Is your child having a hard time seeing the board in class?

Do you struggle to read fine-print in books and menus?

Regular comprehensive eye exams involve a series of tests that enable your East eye doctor to check your eye health and vision. This type of eye exam can only be performed by an eye doctor, and shouldn’t be confused with the vision screenings given in schools or other non-professional settings.

Having regular comprehensive eye exams is crucial when it comes to protecting your eyes from sight-threatening diseases, and ensuring that your optical prescription is up-to-date.

A comprehensive eye exam can also reveal signs of a general health condition like diabetes, hypertension or high cholesterol.

Why Is It Important to Get Your Eyes Tested Regularly?

Comprehensive eye exams are an important part of maintaining great vision and eye health for the entire family.

During your eye exam, your eye doctor will check for any refractive errors or visual skill deficiencies that may hinder development or learning, and diagnose, manage, and treat eye diseases and conditions, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration that can cause severe vision loss in adults.

Many of these sight-robbing conditions show little to no symptoms until they’ve already caused learning difficulties, significant damage to the eye, and/or irreversible vision loss. Routine eye exams ensure early diagnosis and treatment of these and other conditions.


What to Expect From Your Eye Exam

  • Glasses/contact lens prescription updates

    We'll provide you with an updated prescription so that you can see clearly. Some people require a new prescription every year, whereas others only need a new prescription every 2-3 years.

  • Evaluating your child’s vision for learning

    Conditions such as strabismus and amblyopia, and visual skill deficiencies such as convergence insufficiency can negatively impact your child’s learning.

  • Diagnosis & treatment of eye diseases

    Eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy may show no symptoms until it’s too late. The earlier the treatment, the more effective the outcome.

  • Rule out signs of systemic diseases

    Common systemic diseases such as diabetes and stroke can first be detected in the eyes as part of a comprehensive eye exam.

Comprehensive Eye Exams FAQs

Is a comprehensive eye exam the same as a vision screening?

No. Vision screenings like the one performed for children in school or at optical-only stores only check for 20/20 vision. They do not check for the presence of sight-threatening eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration or cataracts. They also do not check for visual skill deficiencies such as problems with visual tracking or processing. Comprehensive eye exams are more thorough and use advanced equipment to evaluate your vision and eye health.

How often should I get an eye exam?

Eye doctors usually recommend that you come in for a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year. This ensures that your glasses or contact lens prescription stays up to date and that signs and symptoms of developing eye conditions are caught early before they cause lasting damage.

When should I bring my child in for their first comprehensive eye exam?

It’s important not to delay eye exams for young infants and children as some early eye problems can affect vision for life. Detecting vision problems early can keep a minor issue from becoming something serious (and more challenging to treat).

I hadn’t had an eye exam in years and finally booked one when my vision got blurry. The optometris... t was great—friendly, professional, and explained everything during the exam. They let me try a few different lenses before deciding on the right ones, and I could actually see clear again for the first time in a while. Got my new glasses within a week. The selection was decent, not huge, but had some good stylish frames. Only complaint is the glasses were a bit pricey, but I guess that’s normal. The staff was helpful and didn’t pressure me to buy the most expensive ones either. Office was clean and I was in and out in under an hour. Real smooth experience overall. I’ll definitely come back next year for my checkup. If your vision’s getting worse like mine was, stop putting it off and just go.

I trust the Eye Care Specialist for decades with giving me the same remarkable experience every time... I step into their offices. I continue to trust the doctors to analyze my changing vision for many years trusting them to diagnose my vision properly taking the time to go over my health screenings, because it matters. Then not rushing my actual eye exams. Then Dr LaHaurd, is doing an AMAZING job of taking care of my son's changing vision who was playing sports in goggles with astigmatism. Now, we have contacts because Dr. LaHaurd notified us of the opportunity for people with this condition could now take advantage of this. Therefore, I am decades down the line with so much gratitude for the Eye Care Specialist team!! They are like my family!! You can trust them for a remarkable, well cared for, up to date on everything experience!!!! Thank you! Sincerely, Lee Turner

I just finished my first visit here and had a great experience! I didn’t catch the name of the wom... an who completed the initial screening stuff but she was super friendly and explained everything really clearly. Dr. Krebs was also really friendly and professional, and talked through everything she was measuring so I understood. I got a new pair of glasses today and Tony was the optician that helped me, he was so great! He was fun and knowledgeable, and helped me find frames that were comfortable and cute. I would definitely recommend this location for anyone needing vision care!
