Eye and Vision Exams
During an eye exam, Dr. Maxam will ask you questions about any symptoms or issues you are experiencing, medications you are currently taking, any blurry vision, your work environment, and your overall health. Family history and previous eye or or vision conditions will also be discussed during this part of the examination. Dr. Maxam will consider this information when determining any treatments or recommendations.
Vision Testing
Regular vision testing and evaluations ensure that you always have the clearest vision possible. Dr. Maxam provides regular visual acuity testing as part of a comprehensive eye exam. Dr. Maxam will measure how each eye is seeing by using a digital eye chart. The results of these tests are portrayed as a fraction, with 20/20 being the standard for normal distance and reading vision. Depending on the results of your vision test, Dr. Maxam may prescribe corrective glasses, contacts or eye exercises.

Eye Function Testing
In addition to vision testing, an eye exam at our office includes testing eye functionality. Dr. Maxam performs several tests to evaluate depth perception, color vision, eye muscle capabilities, peripheral vision, and responsiveness too light. Several other simple tests are completed to determine whether the eyes are focusing, moving, and working together properly. The test results enable Dr. Maxam to diagnose any underlying conditions that may be impairing the eyes ability to focus or work together.
Eye Health
As part of a comprehensive eye exam, Dr. Maxam examines the overall health of the eye through a visual examination and tonometry (Eye Pressure Test). Dr. Maxam evaluates eye health by visually inspecting the eye and eyelids using magnification and a bright light. To examine the internal structures of the eye, we may dilate the pupils. Increased eye pressure may be an indicator of glaucoma, so we utilize tonometry to measure eye pressure. After completing these short tests, Dr. Maxam reviews the results and discusses any necessary treatment options with you.
