Visiting the eye doctor at least once per year can dramatically improve not just your vision, but your overall health.

At Mercer Island Family Eye Care, we believe that routine eye exams and ongoing preventative care are essential components of any good wellness plan. That’s why we place such a strong emphasis on these services.

When our doctors are able conduct comprehensive eye exams on a regular basis, they can ensure that your vision remains as crisp and clear as possible. During an annual checkup, we may also be able to identify the early signs of potential problems so we can address them in a timely and effective manner. The sooner we are able to treat vision concerns, the better we will be able to manage them over time. Eye exams can also assist in the diagnosis of a variety of other medical conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure and sickle cell anemia.

If necessary, we can provide you with a prescription for either glasses, contact lenses or both. Our office features a convenient on-site optic center offering a wide selection of stylish and designer frames to choose from. Our friendly, knowledgeable team is also available to help you select the frames and lenses that are right for you. For contact lens wearers, our doctors can assist in choosing from a variety of contact brands and types, including daily, extended and specialty fittings.

The comprehensive eye exams at Mercer Island Family Eye Care involve a thorough check of the entire eye, both externally as well as internally. This includes binocular testing, color testing, refraction, glaucoma testing and screening for certain eye conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration and retinal disease. We use high tech, state-of-the-art equipment and diagnostic tools to ensure that our patients always receive the highest level of care available.

Should our exam uncover the existence of an eye condition or optical disease, we’ll take the appropriate measures to develop a customized treatment strategy. This may include additional treatment and ongoing management with our doctors, or it may require the expertise of an optical specialist. Referrals are available as needed.

Your eyes are an essential part of your body. Take good care of them and in return, they’ll take good care of you for many years to come. Contact Mercer Island Family Eye Care today to schedule a comprehensive eye exam.
