Having a yearly comprehensive exam can catch eye disorders early and prevent them from interfering with your eyes and vision. Our examinations are quite thorough and our doctors will take the time to explain their findings and answer any questions you may have. Common topics are outlined below for your convenience.

	Amblyopia If an eye is incapable of forming a clear image, vision may never develop properly. Amblyopia, or “lazy eye” can be the result, and unless a treatment plan is initialized at an early age, vision may never be capable of reaching 20/20. (Learn More)
	Astigmatism Both near and distance vision can be affected by astigmatism. Correction can be easily achieved with glasses, contact lenses, or laser eye surgery. (Learn More)
