Why Do We Need Regular Eye Exams?
Comprehensive eye exams are vital for updating your glasses or contact lens prescription and assessing your overall eye health. They allow us to detect eye conditions and diseases before you even notice any symptoms, allowing more effective management and preventing potential vision loss.
These exams can also help detect broader physical health issues, such as diabetes and high blood pressure, which often manifest in the eyes before other symptoms are apparent.
What to Expect During Your Eye Exam
You can expect a thorough assessment when you visit our practice for an eye exam. An exam typically includes:
- Pre-Exam Tests: Simple screenings that include measuring your visual acuity, eye pressure, and field of vision
- Eye Health Exam: Using advanced diagnostic technology to examine the back of your eyes, optic nerves, and other structures to identify any signs of disease
- Vision Tests: Assessments to determine the sharpness of your vision and the need for corrective lenses
- Health & Medication Review: A discussion of your health history and any medications you are taking, as these can affect your vision
- Eye Function Tests: Evaluations of how well your eyes work together, which can detect problems that can affect your reading ability or cause eye strain
Tailored Eye Exams for Children & Adults
Bright Vision for Bright Futures: Pediatric Eye Care
Starting with our youngest patients, we prioritize early eye care to ensure proper visual development.
For infants, we participate in the InfantSEE program, a public health initiative sponsored by the American Optometric Association (AOA). This program provides a free one-time eye assessment for infants aiming to detect potential vision problems at an early stage, typically between the ages of 6 and 12 months. We emphasize the importance of pediatric care in addressing issues that might affect a child's ability to develop visually driven motor, social, and cognitive skills.
In addition to InfantSEE assessments, our pediatric eye care services include specialized services like myopia management and vision therapy, designed to help manage and improve the vision challenges faced by children as they grow.
Empowering Independence with Eye Care for Teens and Adults
For adolescents and young adults, we offer services catering to corrective and preventive eye health strategies. This includes managing the onset of myopia, which often progresses rapidly during these years, through methods such as multifocal contact lenses and other myopia control techniques.
Additionally, we provide sports vision services to enhance visual skills that benefit athletic performance, like depth perception and visual reaction time.
Senior Vision Care: Keeping Eyes Healthy as You Age
Our services for adults and seniors focus on maintaining optimal eye health and managing age-related ocular changes like presbyopia. This eye condition typically occurs in middle to late adulthood and involves the gradual loss of the eye's ability to focus on close objects, making reading and other close-up tasks difficult.
Adults are also monitored for signs of computer vision syndrome caused by extended screen time and the onset of sight-threatening conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Through early detection and management of these eye diseases, we can preserve vision and independence.
Our Advanced Diagnostic Tools at VisualEyes of the Palm Beaches
We proudly offer some of the most advanced diagnostic tools available in the industry at our practice. These include:
- Digital Retinal Imaging: This allows for a deeper look at the health of your retina and can help in the early detection of conditions that could lead to blindness
- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): This non-invasive imaging test uses light waves to take cross-sectional pictures of your retina, allowing for a detailed assessment of the retina’s layers
- Visual Field Testing: This test determines whether you have difficulty seeing in any areas of your overall field of vision, which can be a sign of various eye conditions
