​

What is a comprehensive eye exam?

A comprehensive eye exam is a complete evaluation of your eye and vision health. It includes several vision measurements to determine how well you see objects that are near and far, and your depth of field. It may also include a dilated exam that enables Dr. Siri to see inside your eye in order to check the health of your eyes for signs of eye diseases and other systemic conditions including diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, brain tumors, autoimmune diseases and other cancers.

​

How often should I have a comprehensive eye exam?

The AOA (American Optometric Association) recommends comprehensive eye examinations every 1-3 years based on age and medical history. Children's first eye exam should be by six months in order to identify vision problems that could eventually decrease vision and/ or function. Next, they should be seen by age three and before first grade in order to ensure they have the best functional vision for learning and interaction. All contact lens wearers should have an eye exam yearly or as indicated by their doctor.
