👋 1. Warm Welcome & Check-In
From the moment you walk through our doors, you’ll be greeted by a friendly, professional team. We’ll confirm your details, ask a few quick questions about your eye health history, and make sure you’re comfortable before your exam begins.
🔬 2. Pre-Test Screening
Before you see the optometrist, you may undergo a few painless pre-tests using advanced equipment. These may include:
-
Measuring your eye pressure (a key indicator of glaucoma risk)
-
Taking images of the back of your eye (retinal scan)
-
Checking your depth perception and visual field
These tests give our team a clearer understanding of your overall eye health.
👓 3. Vision Testing & Prescription Check
Next, you’ll meet with our licensed optometrist, who will guide you through a series of refraction tests using the classic "1 or 2?" lens comparisons to pinpoint the clearest prescription for your eyes. This is how we determine your need for glasses or contact lenses and fine-tune your current prescription if needed.
🩺 4. Eye Health Evaluation
Beyond just your vision, we take time to examine your overall eye health. Using specialized tools, your optometrist will check for signs of:
-
Cataracts
-
Glaucoma

Macular degeneration

Diabetic eye disease
-
Dry eye or irritation
We’ll explain everything in clear, friendly terms and answer any questions along the way.
