Regular eye exams do more than update your glasses. A comprehensive exam checks the health of your eyes from the inside out, and can catch signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetes before you notice any symptoms. In many cases, your eye doctor is the first to detect signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and other systemic health issues.
Your exam at Utah Valley Eye Center typically takes 45 to 60 minutes and includes a complete review of your eye health history, assessment of your visual acuity, eye pressure testing, peripheral vision screening, evaluation of your eye muscles and alignment, and a thorough internal and external examination of your eye health. A complete eye exam includes eye dilation and updated measurements for glasses or contact lenses.
We see patients of all ages. From young children to seniors. Early eye exams are especially important for kids, since vision problems can affect learning and development. We recommend children have their first eye exam at age 3, and annually from school age onward. Adults should have a comprehensive exam every one to two years, and annually if you have diabetes, glaucoma risk factors, or are over 60.
At Utah Valley Eye Center, we accept most major medical insurances and vision plans.
Medical insurance covers medical eye visits related to conditions such as dry eye, glaucoma, diabetes-related eye concerns, and cataracts. Some insurance plans will pay for your yearly preventive eye exam.
Vision plans cover your routine annual eye exam and give you an allowance for glasses or contact lenses.
