It is very important that patients have comprehensive eye exams once a year. If you cannot remember the last time you had an eye exam, you should visit us at Family Eyecare of Brighton for a thorough eye exam. Our top-notch optometrist in Brighton, Dr. Kellie Stennis, will be able to provide you with a comprehensive eye exam, contact lens exam, or other types of eye care.
When you come to our office for a comprehensive eye exam or contact lens exam and fitting, you will have your visual acuity tested as well as have your eyes screened for many different eye diseases and disorders. If you are found to have astigmatism, nearsightedness, or farsightedness, you will be able to wear either contact lenses or prescription eyeglasses to have your vision corrected. Today even patients with dry eye or astigmatism can have their vision easily and comfortably corrected using contact lenses. During the eye exam your eyes will also be screened for many different eye diseases including: glaucoma; cataracts; macular degeneration; diabetic retinopathy; retinal tears; dry eyes; and other problems of the cornea, macula, and retina. If you are having a contact lens exam, our optometrist in Brighton will also take specific measurements of your cornea and iris to ensure that your new contact lenses will fit your eyes precisely right. If contact lenses do not fit correctly, they can actually cause permanent damage to the cornea when worn. If you have diabetes and need to have your eyes screened, our eye doctor will be able to do this as part of your comprehensive eye exam. This will ensure that you are not developing any type of retinal or other visual problems related to diabetes. Our optometrist in Brighton is also able to perform macular degeneration screenings and glaucoma evaluations and screenings.
