Comprehensive Eye Exam
If left unchecked and undiagnosed, eye issues can progress rapidly and be detrimental in the future, so it is important to establish a regular eye exam routine. The sooner a potential issue is discovered, the more quickly it can be resolved. We offer comprehensive eye exams in Waterville and Newport to help you find the right prescription for your eyes and catch any potential problems before you may need emergency eye care.
What Is Included in a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
Comprehensive eye examinations at our eye care centers include vision screening tests as well as other exams that can help uncover eye disease and other issues. A valuable tool for diagnosing issues before they develop to advanced stages, eye exam tests allow us to take action that may help to slow down an eye problem’s progression and prevent potentially long-term damage. Routine eye exams are recommended for people of all life stages, regardless of whether a person has had a history of eye issues or vision problems.
Our eye exams in Newport and Waterville help uncover issues including:

Did you know that high blood pressure and high cholesterol can also impact eye health? Eye examinations may help uncover and treat problems relating to these conditions.
