Home > Blog > Comprehensive Eye Exams

Your eyes are one of your most valuable assets, and a comprehensive eye exam is essential to safeguarding your vision and overall eye health. Whether you’re visiting us at Fallon Vision Group for a routine check-up or experiencing specific vision concerns, our thorough approach ensures that we provide you with the best care.

What Is a Comprehensive Eye Exam?

A comprehensive eye exam is more than just updating your prescription for glasses or contact lenses. At Fallon Vision Group, we assess your entire visual system, from checking your visual acuity to detecting early signs of eye conditions that could affect your long-term vision.

Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect during your visit:

1. Patient History Review

We’ll start by discussing your general health, medications, and any vision-related symptoms. This is vital as many health conditions, like diabetes or hypertension, can affect your eyes.

2. Visual Acuity Test

We’ll measure how well you can see at different distances using standardized charts. This helps us determine whether you need glasses or contact lenses.

3. Eye Health Evaluation
Check up on Fallon Vision

Using state-of-the-art technology, we examine the front and back parts of your eye to check for any abnormalities. This includes retinal imaging and ocular coherence tomography (OCT), ensuring a thorough evaluation of your eye health.

4. Refraction Assessment
Refraction Assessment

This test helps us determine your precise prescription by evaluating how light rays bend as they pass through your eye. Accurate refraction is essential for clear vision.

5. Eye Muscle Function

We test how well your eyes work together by assessing your muscle coordination, eye movements, and focusing abilities. This is important for diagnosing issues like strabismus or lazy eye.

6. Glaucoma and Pressure Testing
Intraocular or Eye Pressure Test

Early detection of glaucoma is critical. We measure the pressure inside your eye (tonometry) and examine the optic nerve to identify any potential damage early on.

7. Pediatric Eye Care

For our younger patients, we offer specialized pediatric exams, including myopia management, to ensure a healthy visual development.

Why Are Comprehensive Eye Exams Important?

Annual comprehensive eye exams are key to maintaining your eye health, even if you think your vision is fine. Many serious eye conditions, such as glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy, often develop without noticeable symptoms. A thorough eye exam can detect these conditions early, allowing for timely intervention and preventing further complications.
