Comprehensive Eye Exams In Mount Clemens, MI
At LaCroix Eye Care, we believe that optimal eye health and vision begins with a comprehensive eye exam, which is why it’s the foundation of our eye health services.
What Is A Comprehensive Eye Exam?
A comprehensive eye exam goes beyond the basic determination of your glasses or contacts prescription – it is a thorough evaluation of your visual acuity, functional and binocular vision, and overall eye health. At LaCroix Eye Care, our experts take the time to learn about your specific eye and vision concerns to personalize the eye exam and will use the results to create a customized treatment plan for you. Whether it be eyeglasses or contacts, vision therapy, or eye disease management, we will openly discuss and review your treatment options together to decide the most suitable plan for your unique vision needs.
Why Are Eye Exams Important?
Eye diseases can begin to take root long before you notice changes to your vision, which is why obtaining a comprehensive eye exam by an eye care professional on regular basis is extremely important to preserve your vision and overall eye health. With annual, comprehensive eye exams, our doctors of optometry are able to detect many vision problems and eye diseases early, so that you can receive treatment as soon as possible to prevent vision loss and ensure optimal eye health.
What Happens During A Comprehensive Eye Exam?
Our eye experts begin by taking a thorough history of your vision concerns to best understand your individual needs and provide you with optical lens options for best vision in all aspects of your daily life. You will be taken through a series of preliminary testing, including testing of your peripheral vision, eye pressures, curvature of the eye, and ultra-widefield retinal imaging to screen for conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. Our doctors will use advanced digital refracting systems to precisely determine your glasses or contact lens prescription and perform a thorough slit lamp examination to inspect your cornea, lens, and inner eye tissues including retina, optic nerve, and vitreous fluid with the aid of high-powered magnification.
Specialized Exams
We’re proud to serve the eye care needs of our community. Depending on your own specific needs involving factors such as age, eye health, and vision requirements, you may benefit from one of our more targeted exams, including:
Pediatric Eye Exams
Childhood years are a critical period for visual development. Vision and binocular vision have an enormous impact on social, motor, cognitive, and academic achievement. It is crucial that every child receives an in-person, comprehensive eye examination by an eye doctor in their first year of life, again by the age of 3, and right before first grade to check for eye conditions that could have long term effects. Our pediatric eye exams use kid-friendly, interactive technology to keep children engaged and create a positive experience for your child. Schedule an eye exam to help ensure your child’s success.
Diabetic Eye Exams
Diabetes can affect the eyes in various ways. It can cause vision fluctuations as your blood sugar changes, early cataracts, and bleeding and swelling in the back of the eye, which is the biggest threat to vision loss. Obtaining an annual eye exam by an eye care professional is critical for the early detection of diabetic retinopathy so that appropriate intervention and treatment can be taken, if necessary, to prevent progression to more serious stages and potential vision loss.
Contact Lens Exams
Contact lenses require a specialized exam to ensure proper prescription, fit, comfort, and visual clarity. During a contact lens evaluation, our doctors will examine your overall eye health and take careful measurements to determine your prescription. Based off this information, our experts will be able to select the type of lens that will be best for you, whether it be a soft lens, hard lens, lens that corrects for astigmatism, or multifocal.
Pediatric Eye Exams
Our pediatric eye exams are just as thorough and comprehensive as our regular exams but designed for younger eyes! Children’s eyes are still developing and have specific needs; pediatric eye exams use kid-friendly technology and language while looking for conditions and issues that are more common to their age group.
Diabetic Eye Exams
Diabetes impacts all of your health, but it has an outsized effect on your eyes, and people with diabetes are more susceptible to certain eye conditions and complications. Our diabetic eye exams track your ongoing eye health and structures commonly impacted by diabetes, like the retina, to manage your diabetes and keep your vision safe.
Contact Lens Exams
Contact lenses can improve your eyesight just like glasses, but unlike them, contacts sit on your eyes, not on your nose, a short distance away. This means contacts require both a precise vision prescription and a comfortable fit for the best possible vision, so our contact lens exams measure your eyes while also checking your vision.
Our Advanced Diagnostic Technology
Our practice has always prioritized investing in the latest technology to provide our patients with the best possible care. Our doctors use advanced digital refracting systems to precisely determine your glasses or contact lens prescription and leading-edge diagnostics including ultra-widefield retinal imaging and visual field testing to inspect your ocular health and create an efficient, seamless experience.
