Comprehensive Eye Exams for Optimal Vision
Eye health is critical to your overall well-being, regardless of age or physical condition. Our comprehensive eye exams go beyond simply updating your prescription, focusing on thorough evaluations to detect eye diseases, assess visual cooperation between your eyes, and use your ocular health as a window to your general health.

Our thorough eye exams entail various tests to assess the health of your eyes and the quality of your vision. From straightforward tasks like reading an eye chart to more sophisticated examinations using high-powered lenses to inspect internal eye tissues, we ensure a complete health check. Regular eye exams, recommended annually, are crucial for identifying potential eye conditions early on and adjusting to any changes in your vision.
Eye Exams for Every Stage of Life
Adhering to the American Optometric Association's (AOA) guidelines, we recommend annual eye exams for everyone — even if you don't need corrective lenses. This practice is vital for early detection of changes in your vision or potential eye conditions, allowing for prompt and effective management.
If you have conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure, which can impact your eyes, you may benefit from more specialized and frequent exams to closely monitor your ocular health.
Your eyes may also exhibit symptoms that require careful attention as you age. For our patients over 40, we suggest exams every one to two years to monitor for age-related conditions like presbyopia, cataracts, and macular degeneration. By employing the latest diagnostic technology, we can provide accurate diagnoses and personalized care plans, ensuring your vision remains clear and your eyes healthy as you navigate life.
Nurturing Young Vision for a Brighter Future
Vision plays a crucial role in children's growth and educational development. At Space Center Eye Associates, we're dedicated to safeguarding the eye health of our youngest patients through comprehensive pediatric eye exams. Aligned with the American Optometric Association (AOA) guidelines, we recommend examinations at critical developmental milestones: at six months, at age three, and before entering school, followed by yearly check-ups to monitor and support their visual health.
These early pediatric eye exams help detect potential vision issues that, if left unchecked, could affect a child's ability to learn and interact with the world around them.
In addition to these standard intervals, we offer personalized care for children facing vision challenges or possessing risk factors that may predispose them to eye conditions. Factors such as premature birth, developmental delays, the presence of eye diseases in the family history, or previous incidents of eye injury necessitate more frequent evaluations.
