Comprehensive Eye Exams
A comprehensive eye exam is very different from a routine eye exam because, in addition to checking for refractive eye errors, your eye doctor will also evaluate the overall health of your eyes by screening you for common eye diseases. Exactly what will happen at your comprehensive eye exam can vary.
Eyeglasses
Choosing the ideal eyeglass and sunglasses frames is essential to your ocular health and well being, but is can also be difficult. We carry a vast selection of frames and lenses for all eye care needs, lifestyles, and budgets. Find the perfect pair that become as unique as the person taking them home.
Contact Lenses
Contact lenses are more versatile than ever before. Understand the pros and cons of common types of contact lenses — and the ground rules for preventing eye infections.
Glaucoma Care
The damage caused by glaucoma can’t be reversed. But treatment and regular checkups can help slow or prevent vision loss, especially if you catch the disease in its early stages.
Diabetic Eye Exams
If you have been diagnosed with diabetes, annual eye exams will help to protect your eyes from serious sight-threatening eye diseases. The early stages of diabetic retinopathy don’t cause changes in vision and you won’t have symptoms. Only an eye exam can detect the problem, so that steps can be taken to prevent the eye damage from getting worse.
Dry Eye
Dry eye happens when your eyes don’t make enough tears to stay wet, or when your tears don’t work correctly. This can make your eyes feel uncomfortable, and in some cases it can also cause vision problems.Tears can be inadequate and unstable for many reasons. For example, dry eyes may occur if you don’t produce enough tears or if you produce poor-quality tears.
This tear instability leads to inflammation and damage of the eye’s surface.
Cataracts
A cataract is a cloudy area in the lens of your eye. Cataracts are very common as you get older. In fact, more than half of all Americans age 80 or older either have cataracts or have had surgery to get rid of cataracts. At first, you may not notice that you have a cataract. But over time, cataracts can make your vision blurry, hazy, or less colorful. You may have trouble reading or doing other everyday activities. The good news is that surgery can get rid of cataracts. Cataract surgery is safe and corrects vision problems caused by cataracts.

Retinal Conditions
Retinal conditions can cause damage to any part of the retina. Untreated retinal conditions can lead to severe vision loss and even blindness. With early detection, some retinal conditions can be treated, while others can be controlled or slowed down to preserve, or even restore vision.

Myopia Management
Myopia, also known as nearsightedness or shortsightedness, is the inability to see distant images or objects clearly— making it difficult to see road signs, the television, or a clock on the wall. Myopia occurs when the eye grows too long (axial length), or the cornea and/or eye lens are too curved, relative to the length of the eyeball. A myopic eye focuses images in front of the retina, instead of directly on the retina, resulting in blurry distant vision.
Special Testing
At Pennsylvania Optometrics, we provide special diagnostic vision testing in addition to typical eye exams. We use digital retinal photography, a visual field analyzer as well as OCT scanning. Our special testing clinic has a suite of the latest equipment to diagnose and manage ocular diseases.
