Complete Eye Health Assessment
At Arizona's Vision Eye Care Center, we provide comprehensive eye examinations that go beyond simply checking your vision. Our thorough eye exams are designed to assess your overall eye health, detect potential problems early, and ensure you maintain clear, comfortable vision throughout your life.
What's Included in Your Eye Exam
Our comprehensive eye examination includes a complete assessment of your vision and eye health. We use state-of-the-art equipment and advanced diagnostic techniques to provide you with the most thorough evaluation possible.
Vision Testing
- Visual Acuity Test: Measures how clearly you see at various distances
- Refraction Assessment: Determines your exact prescription for glasses or contacts
- Binocular Vision Evaluation: Checks how well your eyes work together
- Color Vision Testing: Screens for color blindness or deficiencies
- Peripheral Vision Test: Assesses your side vision and visual field
Eye Health Screening
- Dilated Fundus Examination: Comprehensive view of the retina and optic nerve
- Intraocular Pressure Measurement: Screening for glaucoma
- Optomap Retinal Imaging: Advanced digital imaging of the retina
- Corneal Health Assessment: Evaluation of the front surface of your eye

Many serious eye conditions develop without obvious symptoms in their early stages. Our comprehensive eye exams can detect:
- Glaucoma: The "silent thief of sight" that can cause irreversible vision loss

- Cataracts: Clouding of the eye's natural lens
- Retinal Detachment: Serious condition requiring immediate treatment
- Eye Cancer: Early detection is crucial for successful treatment
Advanced Technology
We utilize the latest diagnostic equipment to ensure the most accurate and comprehensive examination:
- Optomap Ultra-Wide Digital Retinal Imaging: Captures over 80% of your retina in a single image
- OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography): High-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina
- Automated Refraction: Precise measurement of refractive errors
- Digital Photography: Document and monitor changes over time
- Corneal Topography: Detailed mapping of the corneal surface
