Comprehensive Eye Exams
At Primary Eyecare Optometrics, we prioritize your visual health through regular and comprehensive eye exams. As per the recommendations of eyecare experts, scheduling a complete eye exam every 1 to 3 years is crucial, with the frequency depending on factors such as age, risk factors, and overall physical condition.
Regardless of your age or physical well-being, routine eye exams are vital to ensuring optimal eye health. Our esteemed optometrists and dedicated staff at Primary Eyecare Optometrics are here to guide you and your family toward the clearest vision possible. By staying proactive with your eye care, you’re taking the first steps toward preserving the beauty and clarity of your world.

Pediatric Eye Exams
At Primary Eyecare Optometrics, we recognize the importance of nurturing healthy vision from a young age. It’s estimated that a significant number of preschoolers and school-aged children may experience vision problems — approximately 5% to 10% of preschoolers and 25% of school-aged children.
In alignment with the American Optometric Association’s (AOA) guidelines, we emphasize the significance of early eye exams for children. The journey begins with an eye exam at 6 months of age, followed by examinations at age 3 and before starting school. For children without existing vision problems or risk factors, subsequent exams are recommended every two years throughout their school years.
Children with vision concerns or risk factors require more frequent evaluations. These risk factors include premature birth, developmental delays, family history of eye disease, and more. Our goal is to ensure every child’s visual well-being is nurtured. If your child wears eyeglasses or contact lenses, experts recommend examinations at least every 12 months or as advised by their eye doctor. At Primary Eyecare Optometrics, we’re here to provide compassionate and expert care to safeguard your child’s precious gift of sight.
Embrace Your Annual Eye Exam
At Primary Eyecare Optometrics, we understand that adult eye health is a vital component of overall well-being. The AOA underscores the significance of regular eye exams for adults.
For those who wear eyeglasses or contacts, an annual eye exam is recommended. Even if you don’t require corrective eyewear, it’s important to undergo an eye exam every 2 to 3 years until the age of 40.
Our experienced optometrists advise more frequent exams in cases of diabetes, high blood pressure, and other disorders. Many health conditions can influence vision and eye health, making vigilant monitoring crucial.
As you cross the age of 40, regular eye exams take on added importance. Checking for age-related concerns like presbyopia, cataracts, and macular degeneration becomes a priority. The risk of eye diseases rises with age, emphasizing the importance of annual eye exams for everyone over 60.
Optomap for Retinal Imaging
With every standard eye exam, we prioritize a meticulous examination of the retina — the delicate tissue positioned at the back of the eye. This thorough evaluation is crucial to identify potential abnormalities or diseases that could compromise your vision. The retina’s vulnerability to a range of conditions underscores the importance of timely detection, as these issues can progress to partial or complete vision loss. In the past, this assessment required pupil dilation, a process often regarded as uncomfortable, inconvenient, and time-intensive by patients.
A Revolutionary Approach to Retinal Imaging
Imagine a retinal imaging technology that’s not only cutting-edge but also tailored to the unique needs of your practice. At Primary Eyecare Optometrics, we’re proud to introduce the next generation of Optos technology – Daytona. Designed with innovation in mind, Daytona is scaled to accommodate smaller office spaces while delivering ultra-high resolution imaging and revolutionary ultra-widefield autofluorescence capabilities.
The Optomap exam brings the future of retinal imaging right to your fingertips. With a simple push of a button, we generate a computer image of your retina, available for immediate review. This technology has already showcased its prowess in enhancing disease detection, potentially averting vision loss and blindness in our valued patients.
Continuing our commitment to providing advanced technology, we’re excited to announce the integration of the Optomap™ retinal exam as an integral part of your eye exam experience. The Optomap captures the most comprehensive retinal image, enabling us to conduct a more thorough examination than ever before. This translates into better prevention and reduced vision loss, all through a swift, patient-friendly exam.
Our concerns extend to a range of retinal problems, including macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal holes or detachments, and systemic diseases like diabetes, stroke, and high blood pressure. These conditions often develop silently and progress without warning, leading to partial vision loss or blindness.
Optomap brings a host of benefits, including an eye wellness scan, an in-depth view of retinal layers where diseases originate, the ability to review images with your doctor, and an annual permanent record for your medical file. It’s a fast, easy, and comfortable experience that doesn’t require dilating drops, providing you with unparalleled insights into your ocular health.
