At our facility, we will perform an extensive eye health examination for all ages to detect any potentially vision threatening condition. For a description of most of these conditions, go to www.aoa.org and look under "Conditions and Concerns". Detailed Examinations for All Age Groups Pediatric Exams It is highly recommended by the American Optometric Association for children in their first year of life to have a vision and eye health screening performed by a licensed eye specialist. An exam, once per year thereafter, is also highly recommended. At Metro Eye Care, we have all of the equipment and experience necessary to perform these exams. Using special techniques and gentle care, we test children of all ages for the common conditions of astigmatism, myopia, and hyperopia. We will also dilate the pupils and perform an extensive eye health exam to rule out diseases that can occur from birth such as amblyopia or "lazy eye," strabismus or "crossed eyes," congenital cataracts, retinopathy of pre-maturity, obstructed tear ducts, and ocular allergies. Adult Exams All adults should have an eye exam that includes eye health testing at least once every year or two. At our office, we perform all of the testing recommended by the AOA, as well as several other tests that are included in our comprehensive exam at no extra charge. See list at left for a sample of tests included in our basic exam. Senior Exams Because many eye diseases start later in life, at Metro Eye Care, we place special emphasis on diagnosing and managing the many forms of common geriatric eye diseases such as glaucoma, dry eyes, macular degeneration, and cataracts, to name a few. Our doctor has extensive experience in managing eye conditions that typically afflict senior citizens. We use retinal imaging equipment and automated optic nerve analysis to assist in diagnosing many of these problems.
