Comprehensive Eye Exams

Regular, complete eye exams are an important part of maintaining your overall health and well-being. Just like getting a physical with your physician or having your teeth checked at the dentist, a comprehensive eye exam is more than just determining whether you need a prescription for glasses or contacts. It also includes evaluating the health of your eyes for diseases and conditions that may not have any obvious signs or symptoms.

Depending on your age and health, the American Optometric Association recommends a comprehensive eye exam every 1-2 years. In most cases, early detection and treatment of an eye disease can save your sight.

During a complete eye exam, your optometrist in Crestwood, KY will not only determine your prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses but will also check your eyes for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes work together as a team and evaluate your eyes as an indicator of your overall health.
