What Is a Comprehensive
Eye Exam?

Comprehensive eye exams are about more than finding your vision prescription. They involve using the best technology available to really understand your eyes and the surrounding structures from top to bottom. Because vision tends to deteriorate slowly, most patients don’t recognize they have a serious problem until it’s too late. Dr. Nick Lillie and his supporting team know exactly what to look for to properly protect your long-term health and will develop a customized treatment plan if they find anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a comprehensive eye exam check?

A comprehensive eye exam looks at much more than your glasses or contact lens prescription. Our team checks how well you see and examines the health of your eyes and the structures around them. This can help spot changes that may need closer monitoring or care.

How often should I have a comprehensive eye exam?

We recommend annual comprehensive eye exams as an important part of long-term eye health. Regular visits give your eye care team a chance to track changes over time, update your prescription as needed, and detect early signs of eye disease.

Do I need an eye exam if my vision seems fine?

Yes. Clear vision does not always mean your eyes are free from health concerns. Some eye diseases can develop before you notice obvious symptoms, so a routine exam can find changes that may otherwise go unnoticed.

What types of specialized eye exams are available?

We offer pediatric, contact lens, and diabetic eye exams, in addition to routine comprehensive care. Each exam focuses on the needs of that patient, whether the goal is supporting a child’s visual development, fitting contact lenses, or monitoring eye health related to diabetes.

What technology is used during an eye exam?

We use advanced diagnostic equipment to get a detailed look at your eye health. Technology such as the CIRRUS 5000A OCT, corneal topography, and other imaging and measurement tools helps us evaluate your eyes from several angles.

How long should I plan for my eye exam?

Please allow about 30 minutes for the exam itself. If you plan to choose new frames or lenses afterward, give yourself extra time so you can review your options without feeling rushed.
