Comprehensive Eye Exams in Exton

Enjoy Clear & Healthy Vision For a Lifetime

Your Vision. Your Future.

Is your child having a hard time seeing the board in class?

Do you struggle to read fine-print in books and menus?

Regular comprehensive eye exams involve a series of tests that enable your Exton eye doctor to check your eye health and vision. This type of eye exam can only be performed by an eye doctor, and shouldn’t be confused with the vision screenings given in schools or other non-professional settings.

Having regular comprehensive eye exams is crucial when it comes to protecting your eyes from sight-threatening diseases, and ensuring that your optical prescription is up-to-date.

A comprehensive eye exam can also reveal signs of a general health condition like diabetes, hypertension or high cholesterol.

Why Is It Important to Get Your Eyes Tested Regularly?

Comprehensive eye exams are an important part of maintaining great vision and eye health for the entire family.

During your eye exam, your eye doctor will check for any refractive errors or visual skill deficiencies that may hinder development or learning, and diagnose, manage, and treat eye diseases and conditions, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration that can cause severe vision loss in adults.

Many of these sight-robbing conditions show little to no symptoms until they’ve already caused learning difficulties, significant damage to the eye, and/or irreversible vision loss. Routine eye exams ensure early diagnosis and treatment of these and other conditions.

What to Expect From Your Eye Exam

Glasses/contact lens prescription updates

We'll provide you with an updated prescription so that you can see clearly. Some people require a new prescription every year, whereas others only need a new prescription every 2-3 years.
Evaluating your child’s vision for learning

Conditions such as strabismus and amblyopia, and visual skill deficiencies such as convergence insufficiency can negatively impact your child’s learning.
Diagnosis & treatment of eye diseases

Eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy may show no symptoms until it’s too late. The earlier the treatment, the more effective the outcome.
Rule out signs of systemic diseases

Common systemic diseases such as diabetes and stroke can first be detected in the eyes as part of a comprehensive eye exam.

Comprehensive Eye Exams FAQs

Is a comprehensive eye exam the same as a vision screening?

No. Vision screenings like the one performed for children in school or at optical-only stores only check for 20/20 vision. They do not check for the presence of sight-threatening eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration or cataracts. They also do not check for visual skill deficiencies such as problems with visual tracking or processing. Comprehensive eye exams are more thorough and use advanced equipment to evaluate your vision and eye health.

How often should I get an eye exam?

Eye doctors usually recommend that you come in for a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year. This ensures that your glasses or contact lens prescription stays up to date and that signs and symptoms of developing eye conditions are caught early before they cause lasting damage.

When should I bring my child in for their first comprehensive eye exam?

It’s important not to delay eye exams for young infants and children as some early eye problems can affect vision for life. Detecting vision problems early can keep a minor issue from becoming something serious (and more challenging to treat).

During my annual eye exam on 5/21/25, my O.D. [and part time super sleuth], Dr. Jillian Penney, of C... Show MoreRH Vision found a hole in my retina not previously seen / nor reported. Dr. Penney , working together with Dr. Ward and the team at Chester County Eye Care Assoc were fabulous. The two EXTRAORDINARY customer service teams were able to make room an appointment for me with one of ChesCo Eye Assoc premier Retinal Specialists, Dr. Michael J. Ward for 1:30. For context, the hole was discovered at about 11:45. Dr. Ward and his team were wonderful to work with, just as Dr. Penney’s team had been! Dr.Ward et al, were Laser-focused on my wHOLE problem [puns intended] Listened intently, not easy with my vocal cord paresis weakened voice They worked as “Fast and Furious” as excellent medical care delivery allowed, Dr. Ward confirmed the hole, explained the options, likely cause and ramifications if left untreated. It was a no-brainer. Off to the laser room I went (much to my wife’s surprise) seeking treatment that quite likely would be saving my vision, especially compared to a do-nothing-decision. In about 5 minutes (though it felt more like 15!), Dr Ward had lasered the hole closed! By 2:30, I was on my way home with one less hole in my head. PHEW, make that a double PHEW for me please. As one of my wise beyond-her-years daughters astutely noted “that was better and faster service than a drive thru …” FOR SURE! Vin Diesel and Paul Walker would have been mightily impressed, I am certain! Fingers crossed none of you ever gets to enjoy so much fun but, just in case, it’s very comforting to know there are still people and organizations that think like this, act like this and deliver results like this!

My sincere gratitude! J P FOOTNOTE: size is IN THE EYE of the beholder. To wit, A “little hole” is what happens to the proverbial “you”, no matter the actual size, ANY extra holes in MY head are MAMMOTH!’ 😂🤷‍♂️🤣
