Our Exams Include:

  • Testing of visual acuity and refractive error

  • Sensory and neurological evaluation
  • Dilated exam of the internal structure of the eyes (as needed)
  • Screening for glaucoma, cataracts, hypertension and diabetes

Adult Eye Exams

At Cypress Family Eyecare, our number one priority is to ensure that our patients receive superior eye care. An exam may also include tests for color vision and depth perception, visual fields, and other vision skills, as needed. We also perform Refraction which is a test for the eyes’ ability to focus light rays properly on the retina at near and far distances.

Our adult examination includes the following evaluations:

Chief Complaint

Assessment of the patient’s reason for getting an eye exam

General Physical Health History

Complete health history to screen for physical conditions and medications that may affect eyesight

General Ocular Health History

Complete eye health history including family history of eye conditions, disease, or medication

External & Internal Eye Health Evaluation

Examination for the signs of eye disorders, including cataracts and other eye disorders

Current Prescription Analysis

Evaluation of current lens prescription, if applicable

Visual Coordination

Check for external eye muscle balance and coordination

Visual Acuity

Test for the eyes’ ability to see sharply and clearly at all distances

Accommodative Ability

Test of the eyes’ ability to change focus from distance to near

Tonometry

Test to measure internal fluid pressure of the eye (increased pressure may be an early sign of glaucoma)

Children's Eye Exams

Children should receive their first eye exam at the age of six months, then again when the child turns three. Subsequent exams should be given before the child starts school, then every two years after that. Based on family history or other indicators, your eye care professional may recommend a more frequent exam schedule.

Many eye disorders, including hyperopia (farsightedness), myopia (nearsightedness), and amblyopia (lazy eye) can occur in early childhood, and may affect your child’s ability to learn. A comprehensive eye exam can detect these and other disorders.

In between eye exams, you can take an active role in monitoring your child’s vision. For instance, regularly ask your child to describe the way he or she sees objects up close or at a distance (across a room or street). The child may not realize if his or her vision is not clear and sharp.

Look for the following signs that your child may have vision problems:
  • Squinting
  • One or both eyes turning in, out, up, or down
  • Head turn or head tilt
  • Frequent headaches
  • Inability to copy notes from a blackboard
  • Reversals of words or letters
  • Frequent rubbing of eyes or tearing
  • Eye redness or crusting of eye lids/lashes
  • Eye pain
  • Disinterested in close work, such as coloring or reading sitting very close to the television (indicating that he/she can’t see if made to move back)
