Eye Exams

Children and adults with high visual demands often experience visual stress and have undetected visual problems which interfere with their ability to perform. Symptoms such as loss of place, visual fatigue, blur, headaches, reduced comprehension, and difficulty concentrating may indicate a developmental and/or visual stress problem. Our comprehensive vision analysis goes beyond 20/20 to evaluate many important visual skills:

The eye, neural pathways, visual fields, and eye pressure are evaluated to determine the presence of glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes, hypertension, and other ocular systemic diseases.

We provide evaluation for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and the benefits of glasses and contact lenses.

Is one's vision clear and single at close distances? Clear sight at short distances is critical to reading, writing, close work, computer use, etc.

Evaluation for visual tracking, focusing, and eye coordination ability to ensure maximum performance for school, work, and leisure activities. Eye tracking and fixation skills include the ability of the eyes to fixate and accurately follow an object, such as the ability to move the eyes across a sheet of paper while reading.

Do the two eyes aim, move, and work as a coordinated team? Weaknesses in binocular (two-eyed) vision and eye teaming skills can cause numerous difficulties, including convergence insufficiency and poor depth perception.

During this appointment, you will find that we use computerized instruments for assisting us in determining your refractive status. We test entry level skills for eye teaming, tracking, and focusing abilities. Our computers use digital imaging to photograph the retina and other eye structures so that Dr. Dejmek can show you any eye health concerns and track them over time.

Our primary vision exam concludes with a recommendation for any further testing and a discussion of all treatment options, including lens prescriptions for spectacles or contact lenses (if needed). 

Our office is equipped to handle most minor eye injuries, foreign bodies in the eye, corneal abrasions, and acute red eye conditions. For an emergency during normal office hours, call ahead and you will be advised on how to proceed.

We are participating providers for Network Health Plan, United Health Care (medical), United Medical Resources (UMR), and Medicare. We are able to submit claims for many other insurance plans and give you an estimate of your insurance coverage. If you don’t have vision insurance, ask about monthly payment options.
