What are the benefits of a comprehensive eye exam?      

Regular comprehensive eye exams are an essential part of maintaining good eye health. Many eye diseases, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, have no early symptoms. During a comprehensive eye exam at our office in West Hartford, we can detect these diseases in their early stages when treatment is most effective. We can also help identify vision problems that may be affecting your quality of life, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.  

If you wear contact lenses or glasses, we will make sure your prescription is up-to-date and providing you with the best possible vision correction. Additionally, your eyes can reveal a lot about your overall health. For example, our eye doctor can spot early signs of systemic diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol. 

If the eye doctor finds any issues during the exam, they will work with you to develop a treatment plan customized to your specific needs. We will prescribe eyeglasses or contact lenses if you need them to see clearly. We also evaluate and treat trauma-related injuries and emergencies, such as removing foreign bodies from the eye. 

Further Assessments

Vision Therapy Assessment and Treatment

Good vision requires that your eyesight, visual pathways, and brain work well together. If they don’t, you may have trouble with comprehension, attention, or dizziness, even if you have 20/20 vision. Adult patients can have lasting effects from an underdeveloped visual system or a visual system that has been compromised from an acute event like a concussion or stroke.  At our Farmington Multispecialty Center, we offer vision therapy assessments and customized treatment programs to help you develop visual skills, increase visual performance and efficiency, and improve how you process or interpret visual information.

Occupational therapy assessment and treatment

An underdeveloped or acutely compromised sensory system impacts how your body receives, integrates, and processes sensory information.  Adult patients may experience sensitivity to noise and sound, a feeling of discomfort in large active settings like a shopping mall, distractions at work from background noise or flickering lights, and/or sensitivity to movement. 

For patients who may have an issue with their visual or sensory systems, we can conduct in-depth testing to diagnose the problem and provide occupational therapy treatment at our Farmington Multispecialty Center.
