The best way to ensure that your family's vision is healthy is to make sure every member of your family has a regular comprehensive eye exam. Some vision problems are symptom-less and pain-free, making it hard to know whether or not you might have a problem. The most effective method for detecting vision problems is through a comprehensive eye exam performed by an eye doctor. Dr. Slikker recommends yearly eye exams.
Dr. Slikker and Associates perform comprehensive eye exams that include screening for cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other eye diseases.
Dr. Slikker and Associates prescribe glasses and fit soft contact lenses, including colored, bifocal, and astigmatism correcting lenses. The Doctors will speak to you about your visual needs so that they may prescribe the optimal correction for you. The right kind of correction can alleviate eyestrain, discomfort, and blurry vision from computer use, reading, or driving.
Protect your vision. We recommend that our patients include an Optomap retinal screening as part of the comprehensive eye exam. The Optomap ultra widefield digital retinal imaging device helps you and your eye doctor make informed decisions about your eye health and overall well-being.
Adults should have their eyes examined at least every two years. If there are any systemic health conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, or a history of eye disease, then exams should be done at least every year (depending on the problem). Contact lens wearers should also be examined every year to insure that contact lenses are fitting the eye properly, giving clear vision, and not causing problems with the eye health.
We look forward to seeing you.
