The Foundation of Lifelong Vision Health

Comprehensive Eye Exams

Complete eye health evaluation with advanced imaging to detect and manage conditions early.

Overview

About Comprehensive Eye Exams

Most people see an eye doctor only when something seems wrong. But the conditions that cause the most vision loss — glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease — typically have no symptoms until significant damage has already occurred. Annual exams are preventive care, not just vision checks.

A comprehensive eye examination at Giliberti Eye & Laser Center is far more than an updated glasses prescription. Our ophthalmologists perform a full ocular health evaluation using slit-lamp biomicroscopy, dilated fundus examination, intraocular pressure measurement, visual field testing, and OCT imaging when indicated. Many sight-threatening conditions — glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and others — are silent in their early stages. A thorough annual exam is the most reliable way to detect them before they cause permanent damage.

What to Expect

Your Journey to Better Vision

Case History & Chief Complaint

We review your medical and ocular history, current medications, family history, and any vision concerns. This context guides the entire exam.

Refraction & Visual Acuity

We measure your current prescription with a phoropter and determine your best-corrected visual acuity. Contact lens wearers receive a separate fitting evaluation.

Anterior & Posterior Segment Exam

Slit-lamp examination of the cornea, iris, and lens. After dilation, the retina, optic nerve, macula, and blood vessels are examined in detail.

Discussion & Plan

Your doctor reviews all findings, answers your questions, and recommends any follow-up testing, treatment, or specialist referrals. Prescriptions and care plans are provided before you leave.
