Examination Types

A comprehensive assessment for children, teens, and adults designed to identify functional visual deficits that may be impacting reading, learning, attention, comfort, or overall visual performance. Many patients seek this evaluation after being told their eyesight is “20/20” yet still experience headaches, eye strain, difficulty focusing, double vision, skipping lines when reading, or poor visual endurance. If you were referred by an optometrist, therapist, or school professional, this is typically the recommended exam.

This evaluation goes beyond a routine eye exam and focuses on how the eyes and brain work together.

Testing includes detailed assessment of:

• Eye tracking (oculomotor control)
• Eye focusing (accommodation)
• Eye teaming and binocular vision
• Visual endurance and efficiency

When clinically indicated, additional testing may include:

• Laterality and directionality
• Visual perception and processing skills
• Screening for retained primitive reflexes that may impact visual development

At the conclusion of the visit, findings and recommendations are reviewed in detail, including whether vision therapy or other interventions are appropriate.

Progress evaluations are performed periodically during a vision therapy program to measure improvement and guide next steps. Previously identified areas of difficulty are re-tested to determine how the visual system is responding to therapy. Results help refine the treatment plan, adjust goals, and determine readiness for advancement or graduation from therapy.

A full eye health and vision assessment that includes:

• Ocular health evaluation (dry eye, allergies, redness, etc.)
• Eye pressure measurement
• Refraction to determine glasses prescription (if needed)
• Basic binocular vision screening

This exam is appropriate for patients seeking a general eye exam, updated prescription, or evaluation of eye health concerns.

Contact lens fittings require additional measurements and trial lens testing beyond a standard eye exam. This fee covers:

• Determining proper base curve, diameter, and lens parameters
• Trial lens ordering and fitting
• Brand and material selection based on eye health and lifestyle
• Insertion and removal training for new wearers

Multiple trial lenses may be required to ensure the safest and most comfortable fit.
