Eye & Vision Exams
At Advanced Vision Care and Dry Eye Spa, we strive to provide comprehensive, primary eye care for the whole family. Preventative and routine eye exams are important to maintaining good eye health. Often, eye and vision problems do not have obvious symptoms or signs, but are easily diagnosed by a licensed optometrist. By diagnosing eye and vision conditions early on, our optometrist is able provide treatment options and in many cases restore or prevent vision loss. The American Optometric Association recommends yearly or bi-yearly eye and vision exams, depending on whether you are at-risk or not.
Eye Exam and Consultation
During an eye exam, your eye doctor will ask you questions about any symptoms or issues you are experiencing, medications you are currently taking, any blurry vision, your work environment, and your overall health. Family history and previous eye or vision conditions will also be discussed during this part of the examination. They will consider this information when determining any treatments or recommendations.
Vision Testing
Regular vision testing and evaluations ensure that you always have the clearest vision possible. Our Tucson optometrist provides regular vision acuity test as part of a comprehensive eye exam. Our team will measure how each eye is seeing by using a wall eye chart and a reading eye chart. The results of these tests are portrayed as a fraction, with 20/20 being the standard for normal distance and reading vision. Depending on the results of your vision test, we may prescribe corrective glasses, contacts, or eye exercises.
Eye Function Testing
In addition to vision testing, an eye exam in our Tucson office includes testing eye functionality. Our optometrist performs several tests to evaluate depth perception, color vision, eye muscle capabilities, peripheral vision, and responsiveness to light. Several other simple tests are completed to determine whether the eyes are focusing, moving, and working together properly. The test results enable our team to diagnose any underlying conditions that may be impairing the eyes ability to focus or work together.
Eye Health
As part of a comprehensive eye exam, our Tucson optometrist examines the overall health of the eye through a visual examination and tonometry. We evaluate eye health by visually inspecting the eye and eyelids using magnification and a bright light. To examine the internal structures of the eye, we may dilate the pupils. Increased eye pressure may be an indicator of glaucoma, so we utilize tonometry to measure eye pressure. After completing these short tests, our team reviews the results and discusses any necessary treatment options with you. Contact us at (520) 744-1711 today to schedule a comprehensive eye exam.

Common Vision Problems
Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism are common reasons people have trouble seeing. Nearsightedness is when you have a hard time seeing objects that are farther away, while farsightedness is when you have difficulty seeing objects close to you. You can have trouble seeing objects that are close and far away if you have astigmatism. Other eye conditions that can affect your vision include glaucoma and cataracts. Glaucoma can cause problems with your side vision, while cataracts can lead to blurry vision.
Vision Tests
Eye exams are the most effective way to catch and treat vision problems before they lead to permanent damage. Your optometrist will do tests to check your visual acuity when you come in for an eye exam. Your optometrist will ask you to read off charts placed at a certain distance or choose whichever letter or number shown is clearer. These tests allow us to determine your prescription for corrective lenses.
Corrective Lenses for Clear Vision
Wearing prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses can improve your vision. Our optometrist in Tucson, AZ, has several frames to choose from so you can get the look you want.
