Just as an annual physical is important to maintaining your overall well being, a yearly eye exam is essential to ensuring your eyes are healthy and your vision is the best it can be. Vision Source doctors employ their skills and the latest in technology to determine visual acuity (how clearly you see) and to look for signs of eye diseases. Many eye diseases, like glaucoma, have no noticeable symptoms until they have progressed to a point where vision loss can occur. For this reason, Vision Source recommends eye examinations at the following intervals
Patient Age
Examination Interval
Birth to 6 months
Referred by Pediatrician.
6 months to 60 years
Annually or as directed by your eye doctor.
61 and older

Other Vision Services
In addition to eyeglasses and contact lenses, many Vision Source doctors provide professional services to help patients maximize the potential of their vision. These may include:
Low Vision Therapy for patients whose vision has been
debilitated due to conditions such as Macular Degeneration,
Diabetic Eye Disease and Retinal Detachment.
Pediatric Vision Therapy for Strabismus ("crossed eyes") or
Amblyopia ("lazy eye")
Corneal Refractive Therapy using specialized contact lenses
to gently reshape the cornea and improve vision
Note: As all Vision Source offices are independently owned and operated, not all offices offer the same services.
