Eye Exams
We Believe The Most Important Part Of The Examination Is Listening To You.
An annual eye exam aids in the early detection of eye diseases, many of which can cause permanent vision loss if left untreated. Our doctors will provide you with a comprehensive eye examination that personally attends to all your eye health and vision needs. Our practice continually invests in the newest and most advanced equipment to properly diagnosis and treat eye diseases for patients in RI and MA. We provide same day service for ocular emergencies and have convenient office hours with night and weekend appointments.
Your Comprehensive Eye Exam will Include:
- Personal attention
- Determining an accurate vision prescription
- An eye pressure reading - elevated eye pressure is a risk factor for glaucoma
- Evaluation for all eye diseases including cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration
- Evaluation of systemic diseases found in your eyes such as diabetes, hypertension and elevated cholesterol
- Pupil dilation to allow for a thorough retinal examination
At the conclusion of the eye exam, your optometrist will review and discuss all of the findings, along with personalized recommendations that best address your concerns and needs.
We also work together with your other health care professionals including primary care physicians, endocrinologists and neurologists, to ensure you are receiving the highest quality care.
