Eye Exams in St. Clair Shores and Shelby Township

At Eastside Eye Physicians, our ophthalmologist checks on your vision to help determine the best treatment to maintain your vision. We offer many exams including the following:

Eye Exams for All Ages

Eye exams differ for every age group. In our clinics, we use age-appropriate strategies to test your eyes. We use charts with pictures for young children. As children get older, we may use traditional letter charts to test their vision. We also focus on the risks to different age groups. In children, that may mean looking for signs of a lazy eye or other complications. In adults, we may check for glaucoma, cataracts or other changes to your vision.

Value of Exams for Kids

Eye exams for children are essential for the development of their vision. At a young age, a child must learn to interpret the signals sent to their brain. They also need to address any problems with their vision as they grow and develop.

Exams for Adults

Adults have different concerns when compared to children. As an adult, you may need treatment for changes to your vision from aging. You may also need treatment for eye conditions that develop as you age. We focus on the goals of each adult and their needs when evaluating their vision.

Why Visit our Eye Doctor Each Year

Visiting our eye doctor on a regular basis for an eye exam is essential for your vision and eye health. Regular visits allow you to catch eye conditions at an early stage. Early treatment means you will have a lower risk of vision loss or complications. It also ensures that you have the right glasses or contact lenses to correct any problems with your vision. 

What to Expect During Your Eye Exam

In our clinics in St. Clair Shores and Shelby Township, we offer an eye exam to check on your vision. Our ophthalmologist asks about your medical history and then checks on your ability to see clearly. We may use charts and other tools to check your visual acuity. A comprehensive exam also tests the pressure of your eyes to determine your risk of glaucoma. We may dilate your eyes and use a tool to look into your eyes to check the retina and optic nerve. The tool allows us to determine if you have any damages to your eyes. We recommend regular check-ups each year and a comprehensive exam every few years to check your eyes.
