Eye exams
A full exam of how your eyes focus and how healthy they are
For adults who want clear vision at work and a regular check on their eye health.
The exam measures your prescription, how your eyes work together up close, and the health of the front and back of each eye. Dr. Saunders goes through what she found at the end, and you leave with a copy of your prescription.

About the exam
Do I need an exam if I see fine?
Many eye conditions cause no change in your vision at first, and glasses are only one reason to come. An exam checks how your eyes focus and how healthy they are, so it is worth having on a regular schedule even when everything looks sharp.
How often should I have an eye exam?
Dr. Saunders sets the schedule with you at the end of each visit. It depends on your age, your prescription, your health and how you use your eyes. Most adults come once a year or every other year.
Can I fill my prescription somewhere else?
Yes. Your prescription is yours. We give you a copy after your exam and fitting, and you can fill it anywhere, online or in a shop.
