Comprehensive Eye Exam
A comprehensive eye examination is important for maintaining healthy vision and should be performed at least once a year. Various eye issues such as glaucoma and macular degeneration have no early symptoms and therefore these regular eye exams are the best way to catch these conditions before they cause serious damage.
During a comprehensive eye exam, we will check your vision, eye health and ask you about any symptoms you may be experiencing. We will check your eye pressure, which is important for detecting glaucoma.
If you have never had a comprehensive eye exam done, or if it has been more than a year since your last eye exam, schedule an appointment with Dr. Lininger today.
