When was the last time you had an eye exam? If it’s been a while, you might be wondering what to expect when you visit Anderson Lane Vision Source. Eye exams aren’t just about updating your prescription—they’re an opportunity to assess your overall eye health, detect early signs of eye conditions, and ensure you’re seeing the world as clearly and comfortably as possible. At Anderson Lane Vision Source, we go beyond the basics with a comprehensive, technology-driven approach to eye care. Here’s what our advanced eye exam process includes.
Your eye exam starts with a conversation. We want to understand not just how well you see but also any symptoms or changes you may have noticed. Whether you're experiencing frequent headaches, difficulty with night vision, or dry, irritated eyes, these details help us tailor the exam to your needs. We also take into account any medical conditions, medications, or family history that could impact your eye health.
Seeing clearly is just the beginning. We use a thorough refraction process to determine your prescription for glasses or contact lenses with greater accuracy. By carefully assessing how your eyes focus at different distances, we ensure that your prescription is as precise and comfortable as possible, helping you achieve the clearest vision.
Your eye health is just as important as your vision. We conduct a series of tests to assess the internal and external structures of your eyes, checking for signs of conditions such as:
• Glaucoma – We measure intraocular pressure and examine your optic nerve for early signs of damage.
• Macular Degeneration – Using high-resolution imaging, we evaluate the health of your retina to detect any changes before symptoms appear.
• Cataracts – We check for any clouding of the eye’s natural lens that could impact your vision over time.
• Diabetic Eye Disease – If you have diabetes, we closely examine your retinal blood vessels for early signs of diabetic retinopathy.
We incorporate state-of-the-art technology to get a detailed picture of your eye health. This may include:
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) – A non-invasive scan that provides a cross-sectional view of your retina, helping detect subtle changes in eye health.
• Fundus Photography – High-resolution images of the back of your eye allow us to monitor any changes over time.
• Corneal Topography – A mapping system that provides a detailed analysis of your cornea, essential for contact lens fittings and diagnosing conditions like keratoconus.
Once your exam is complete, we’ll walk you through the results and answer any questions you have. If you need new glasses or contact lenses, we’ll help you find the best fit for your lifestyle. If any concerns arise, we’ll discuss treatment options or referrals to specialists if needed.
An eye exam is more than just a prescription check—it’s a proactive step in protecting your vision and overall well-being. At Anderson Lane Vision Source, we combine expert care with advanced technology to ensure your eyes get the attention they deserve.
