20/20 vision is important. Seeing 20/20 means that the person can clearly see a standard-sized letter on the eye chart. But there's so much more to healthy vision than having 20/20 vision. 20/20 is just the starting point!

Our comprehensive vision exam goes beyond 20/20 to evaluate many important visual skills with specific vision tests:

• Complete ocular health evaluation - We examine the eyes inside and out to make sure that they are completely healthy. Eye drops to dilate the pupils are used ensure a thorough evlauation for such problems as cataracts, glaucoma, hypertension, diabetes, tumors, etc.

• Visual Acuity at Near - Is vision clear and single at close distances? Clear sight at short distances is critical to reading, writing, close work, computer use, etc.

• Eye Teaming Skills - Do the two eyes aim, move, and work as a coordinated team? If not, numerous difficulties, including convergence insufficiency and poor depth perception can result. A Binocular Visual Evaluation may be necessary to determine the underlying problem.

• Eye Focusing Skills - Do the eyes maintain clear vision at all distances? Rapid, automatic eye focus adjustment is critical to learning, reading, writing, sports, etc. Deficiencies can cause visual fatigue, reduced reading comprehension, and/or avoidance of close work or other activities. A Binocular Visual Evaluation may be necessary to determine the underlying problem.

• Eye Movement Skills - Do eye movements show adequate muscle control, tracking, fixation, etc.? In the classroom, normal eye movements allow rapid and accurate shifting of the eyes along a line of print or from book to desk to board, etc. In sports, efficient eye movements contribute to eye-hand coordination, visual reaction time, and accurate tracking.A Binocular Visual Evaluation may be necessary to determine the underlying problem.
