Our exams are specific to each patient’s needs. However, this exam always includes a comprehensive medical evaluation of all eye systems as well as an exam for glasses (or contacts) if necessary. We understand some patients can offer but limited subjective information. Our experienced optometric physicians and advanced medical testing equipment is specifically tailored to meet EVERY patients needs.
Having an annual comprehensive eye exam is the best way to ensure good vision throughout life. Many problems or diseases of the eye are not represented by poor vision, which is why we recommend getting your eyes examined every year. Our doctors perform several tests and procedures to evaluate the overall health of the eyes as well as an exam for glasses.
MI Great Lakes Eyecare is constantly striving to keep billing for patient care as simple as possible. Therefore, we offer the service of billing the patient’s insurance carrier directly. We accept nearly all medical insurance plans in the MI area. We do all the billing so you don’t have to.
•Infants: All infants should have their eyes examined by a qualified doctor by age six months. Infants’ fine stereopsis (three dimensional or depth perception) is fully developed by nine months of age. Any disease or condition which would prevent the infant from seeing clearly and simultaneously during this time with both eyes may result in not developing stereo vision. After nine months of age, intervention to correct the primary problem will be too late for developing stereo vision in the infant.
•Toddlers: Toddlers should have their eyes examined at age 3 and age 5, even if there is not a history of eye problems in the family. Children’s binocular vision is fully developed by age six years. Any disease or condition which would prevent the child from seeing clearly and simultaneously during this time with both eyes may result in the child having a “lazy eye” or “crossed eyes”. Lazy eyes and even crossed eyes are not detectable by simply looking at the child. Special testing by an eye doctor is required to determine what the problem is. “Crossed eye’s” or “lazy eye’s” are treatable problems and must be detected early in order to ensure a more favorable outcome. After six years of age the prognosis for success is much lower.
•Adolescents: Adolescents should be examined every year until they are finished with high school and even college to ensure they are performing well. Poor visual skills can hinder their ability to learn well in school. Many schools have screening programs to detect some children with problems. It is great that some school districts can afford this and take the time to care for children. However, the screenings are only designed to detect some of the problems that children have. This should not be a substitute for a comprehensive eye examination. A child can pass the screening tests and still need glasses or exercises.
•Ages 19 to 39: Most young adults have prescriptions that have stabilized and should be tested every year or two. Even if you think you see well, there are many conditions, such as glaucoma, which can cause patients to permanently lose up to 90% of their peripheral nerve fibers before you they aware vision change.
Age 40 and up Every year would be prudent at this time. The incidence of ocular complications from glaucoma, high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid problems, cataracts and arthritis increase substantially with time. Much of permanent loss can be prevented by early detection.
•A cataract is a clouding of the lens or of its capsule. There are several different types of cataracts. They cause symptoms of decreased vision, color vision changes or dimness, and glare.
•As the crystalline lens of the eye naturally ages, it undergoes gradual changes of opacification. Increase sunlight, systemic conditions, medications and smoking can increase these changes. Cataracts can also be congenital (present at birth) or from trauma. Regardless of cause, cataracts are usually surgically removed when the patient feels their decreased vision is interfering with normal daily activities. Cataracts do not improve over time, and glasses do not fix the vision loss from cataracts. The only way to improve vision loss from cataracts is having cataract surgery.
