Primary Care

The first examination you will receive is the Comprehensive Primary Care Examination. In this examination, your current vision and eye health status will be thoroughly evaluated. This information will be used during future eye examinations, and will enable your clinician to get a more accurate view of how your eyes may be changing over time. Depending on your specific needs, you may be referred to one of the specialty services within the Center for Eye Care.
 

What do we mean by comprehensive?

A comprehensive eye exam includes tests of visual acuity at distance and near point, a determination of refractive error and the need for glasses, a thorough analysis of binocular vision and eye movement abilities, and a detailed review of eye health, both inside and outside along with a measure of pressure inside the eye.
