Eye Exams

Eye exams at our Carlsbad, CA practice

Here at our Encinitas or Carlsbad, CA optometry practice, comprehensive eye exams are an integral part of our day-to-day work. Exams give our doctors the chance to check for serious conditions or diseases that need to be treated, like glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and more.

During an exam, we also check your visual acuity and accuracy so we can prescribe or update your glasses or contact lenses. Vision plays an important role in almost every aspect of life, from seeing your family to reading a menu. Exams make sure that your eyes are working at peak performance!

What to expect at your exam

During your exam, our doctors will take you through a series of tests to assess your visual health and accuracy. At each test, we make sure to explain what the patient can expect, and what our doctors are looking for.

Eye disease diagnosis

Our Carlsbad eye doctors carefully examine each eye for signs of ocular disease. Early eye disease diagnosis is vital to addressing these issues at their early stages, when they are most treatable. If signs of ocular disease should appear, our doctors will carefully explain the condition, the best approach to management, and answer any optometry questions that you may have.

Selecting your eyeglasses

At the end of your appointment, you may choose to visit our optical shop. If you are looking to update your eyewear, have just received a lens prescription, or are seeking a pair of sunglasses to protect you from the California rays, this is the place to be! At our Carlsbad, CA office, we are proud to offer the latest designer frames so that you can see better in style. We have a dedicated optician who will help you find a pair that will compliment your face and your lifestyle.

Contact lens exams fittings

If contact lenses are the right choice for your day-to-day life, our optometry team will ensure that you are prescribed the perfect contact lenses for your needs and lifestyle. Certain corneal diseases require specialty contact lens fittings, which our team will carefully fit to your treatment needs.

Pediatric eye exams

Senior eye exams

Certain conditions like cataracts and glaucoma become more common with age. Patients ages 65 and older should come in for a senior eye exam at least once a year so that our doctors can diagnose and treat any potential issues that may arise.
