What is a comprehensive eye health examination?
A comprehensive eye exam is a full health evalaution, not only for eyeglasses or contact lenses, but most importantly an assessment of the health of the eye, and how the eyes relate to your systemic health.

1) Refractive Status of the eyes (eyeglasses power determination): myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism or presbyopia (older eyes).
2) Evaluation for glaucoma and cataracts
3) Evaluation of the retina and cornea (structures of the eye)
4) Measurements of the anatomy of the eye
5) Assessment of ocular health relations for potential systemic disorders such as diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid and neurological disorders, autoimmune disorders such as Lyme and Rheumatological concerns. All of these and other disorders and diseases can have direct affect on the eyes.
