Advanced Eye Exams
Complete Eye Exams by a Professional Optometrist in Independence, KY
Eye tests aren't just to find out if you need reading glasses. We'll do a complete eye exam and identify if there are any issues that need to be looked into further. If we find anything that needs to be treated, such as ocular disease, or injury, our experienced eye technicians in Independence, KY will give you a detailed explanation so you know what we'll do and what results you can expect.
Why and when should you have an advanced eye exam?
If you're having severe vision problems or eye pain, make an appointment with Family Eye Health Center as soon as possible to have tests run and get the proper treatment. Waiting can increase the possibility of further eye degeneration. At your advanced eye exam we'll diagnose any eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration or glaucoma. We're equipped to provide a range of treatments, including cataract surgeries.
We recommend eye tests regularly. If you're under 60, every 1-3 years. For those over age 60, annual exams. Go more often if you have vision problems or risk factors for eye problems.
What will we do during an advanced eye exam?
Should our optometrists determine that an advanced eye exam and evaluation, which is more extensive than a routine eye test, is required, we'll run multiple tests to diagnose any issues. We'll also dilate your eyes to enlarge your pupils. The dilation process helps Family Eye Health Center to get a better look at your retina and other vessels in the back of your eye. If you prefer not to be dilated, we have a process known as Optomap, that is a wide field retinal imaging device that provides that same benefits as dilation.
Note that the dilating drops usually take a couple of hours to wear off, will make your eyes light sensitive and also blur your near vision. Although not all eye doctors dilate eyes, we feel it is very important to do for the health of our patients.
