Eye Exam

Since vision changes can occur without you noticing them, it is recommended to have your eyes checked annually. During the eye exam, Dr. Gemoules performs a thorough external and internal assessment, including dilation, to check:

• The ability to see clearly at near and far distances
• The ability to change focus efficiently and comfortably
• The ability to use both eyes as a team
• The ability to see colors and to the side
• The proper functioning of the eyelids – oil glands, lashes, and tear drainage system
• Vision conditions, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and presbyopia
• General health conditions, like diabetes and high blood pressure, can often be detected in the eyes
• Eye diseases
