You should expect a thorough eye exam

Our team of knowledgeable optometrists are dedicated to providing exceptional care, taking the time to understand your unique vision needs and answer any questions you may have. We pride ourselves on creating a welcoming environment where you’ll feel comfortable and at ease throughout your eye exam.

Is it time for new glasses?

We use the Nidek digital refraction system to get the most accurate refraction possible. The biggest upside to using this system is that we can instantly show you the difference between how you see with your current glasses and how you’ll see with your new glasses.

If there’s no change, keep your current glasses. If you see better with the new prescription or you’d just like some new frames from brands like Burberry, Prada or Ray Ban, we can help you select some at our in office optical store.

Do you prefer contacts?

We realize not everyone is a fan of glasses. That’s why we also fit a variety of contact lenses. Our optometrists are pros at fitting everything from daily, weekly or monthly soft lenses, rigid gas permeable lenses and everything in between.

At Eyes Plus Ears, we also specialize in fitting scleral lenses which can be a great option for patients with specific issues, such as severe dry eyes.

We’re here for every member of your family (except the dog)

Whether it’s a pediatric exam or myopia control treatment for your kids, glasses or contacts for yourself or monitoring of glaucoma or a diabetic eye exam for your parents or grandparents, our optometrists are here to help.

what to expect at your appointment

We know seeing an eye doctor can make people nervous, but it doesn’t have to be that way

1

When you see one of our friendly optometrists, they will start by taking your history to find out what they can help you with. They’ll measure your eye pressure, check your vision and then perform a refraction to find your correct power of lenses needed for you to see your best. We use the Nidek refraction system to determine whether you need new glasses or not.

2

Next you will be dilated. This is where we put drops in your eyes so that we can examine the back of your eyes. The drops will make you more sensitive to light and blurry up close. They can last a couple of hours. We then perform any additional testing that is required such as a visual field testing, fundus photography or OCT imaging.

3

After the drops have had a chance to work, the eye doctor will call you back in to their room to complete their examination using the slit lamp. They’ll talk to you about their findings and answer any questions you may have. The whole appointment takes around one to one and a half hours.

4

If you’d like to look for some new glasses, we can help you select some new frames after your appointment or while you’re dilating.

technology

We have all the latest tech to deliver a thorough eye exam

Spectralis OCT

Spectralis OCT

The Spectralis is the reference OCT system that all others are compared to. It takes the most repeatable images which is essential when monitoring conditions such as glaucoma or retinal conditions requiring a precise measurement in change during treatment.

The OCT takes a cross sectional image of the back of the eye. We like to describe it as an ultrasound of the eye. It is completely painless and doesn’t take very long to do.

Eidon fundus camera

Eidon fundus camera

Our state-of-the-art Eidon Widefield Fundus Camera is a game-changer in eye care. By capturing high-resolution images of the back of your eye, we gain unparalleled insight into your ocular health. This cutting-edge technology allows us to detect and monitor various eye conditions with greater precision, providing you with a comprehensive assessment and enabling early intervention when necessary.

Medmont corneal topographer

Medmont corneal topographer

Our corneal topographer allows us to map out the cornea (the outer most layer of the eye). This tool is extremely helpful in getting a precise fit for contact lenses. It also allows us to follow a myopia control treatment and the progression of kerataconus.

Nidek refraction system

iCare tonometer

iCare tonometer

We know how much everyone HATES the air puff tonometer. That’s why we invested in the iCare. It is the most gentle tonometer available, it doesn’t require anesthetic and best of all, it’s accurate.

IOL master

IOL master

Our optometrists use the IOL master to measure the length of your eye. This is essential when you are following a myopia treatment. Without it, we can’t tell if the treatment is working.

Zeiss visual field

Zeiss visual field

The Zeiss / Humphrey visual field machine is the gold standard in measuring a patients peripheral vision. This machine plots out the points you see so that your optometrist can track any changes to your vision. This is essential when following glaucoma, drug toxicities, effects of a stroke and a multitude of other conditions.

We know how important your time is. That’s why we invested in two visual field machines. This allows us to do all your testing on the same day as your appointment.
