Adult & Senior Eye Exams in North Scottsdale

If you’re healthy and not at risk for eye conditions, the American Optometric Association recommends an eye exam every 2 years for adults aged 18 to 64, and every year for adults 65 and older. If you’re at a higher risk of eye disease or have a medical condition like diabetes, you’ll likely need yearly exams. Not sure when you’re due? Get in touch with our team and we’ll help you find the right schedule.

Yes. Many eye diseases and conditions develop slowly and don’t cause noticeable symptoms in their early stages. A comprehensive eye exam checks the health of your eyes, not just how clearly you see, so we can catch changes early, before they affect your vision. Regular exams also keep your prescription up to date, which can reduce eye strain in your day-to-day life.

Your exam takes about an hour. Our team starts by learning about you, including your family history and any medications you take. We then use the latest technology to assess the overall health of your eyes and measure your visual acuity, or how well you see, with incredible accuracy. All of our tests are noninvasive. Afterward, you’re welcome to browse our large selection of frames in our optical emporium.

A comprehensive eye exam can detect early signs of common eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, along with other irregularities and changes in your vision. Because your eyes are a window to your overall health, an exam can also reveal signs of systemic conditions. If we find something, we’ll talk you through your options for diagnosis and management.

Systemic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, thyroid issues, and autoimmune conditions can affect your eyes and vision. For these patients, our exams include a review of your medical history, a detailed eye exam with dilation and tonometry, and any additional tests specific to your condition. We work hand-in-hand with your primary care doctor and share a detailed eye exam report so we can co-manage your eye health. Learn more about our diabetic eye exams.
