Many people do an excellent job at staying on top of their health checkups and screenings. You probably know about making an appointment for an annual physical with your family doctor and visiting the dentist twice each year to get your teeth cleaned. You might not have realized that it is also important to have an annual eye exam. Our eye doctor and optometrist in Schaumburg offers eye exams for the whole family.
An eye exam includes several different tests. You will read the letters from a vision chart with and without your corrective lenses. If you do not yet wear corrective lenses, but you have noticed some changes in your vision, we may do a refraction test to see which lenses are the best for correcting your vision. If you want to wear contact lenses, we also have a separate exam and fitting for that. Another important part of the annual eye exam is the glaucoma check. Glaucoma is just a fancy word for high pressure in your eye. High pressure in your eye damages the optic nerve. The damage is not reversible, which is why it is important to detect this vision disorder as early as possible.
When you need corrective lenses, our optometrist will take all of the needed measurements for your lenses. We do the measurements for astigmatism and sphere as well as your pupil distance. This ensures that your glasses or contact lenses will provide you with the level of correction you need. We have a full selection of eye wear to choose from.
