Comprehensive Eye Exams in Marion

Enjoy Clear & Healthy Vision For a Lifetime

Your Vision. Your Future.

Is your child having a hard time seeing the board in class?

Do you struggle to read fine-print in books and menus?

Regular comprehensive eye exams involve a series of tests that enable your Marion eye doctor to check your eye health and vision. This type of eye exam can only be performed by an eye doctor, and shouldn’t be confused with the vision screenings given in schools or other non-professional settings.

Having regular comprehensive eye exams is crucial when it comes to protecting your eyes from sight-threatening diseases, and ensuring that your optical prescription is up-to-date.

A comprehensive eye exam can also reveal signs of a general health condition like diabetes, hypertension or high cholesterol.

Why Is It Important to Get Your Eyes Tested Regularly?

Comprehensive eye exams are an important part of maintaining great vision and eye health for the entire family.

During your eye exam, your eye doctor will check for any refractive errors or visual skill deficiencies that may hinder development or learning, and diagnose, manage, and treat eye diseases and conditions, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration that can cause severe vision loss in adults.

Many of these sight-robbing conditions show little to no symptoms until they’ve already caused learning difficulties, significant damage to the eye, and/or irreversible vision loss. Routine eye exams ensure early diagnosis and treatment of these and other conditions.

What to Expect From Your Eye Exam

  • Glasses/contact lens prescription updates

    We’ll provide you with an updated prescription so that you can see clearly. Some people require a new prescription every year, whereas others only need a new prescription every 2-3 years.

  • Evaluating your child’s vision for learning

    Conditions such as strabismus and amblyopia, and visual skill deficiencies such as convergence insufficiency can negatively impact your child’s learning.

  • Diagnosis & treatment of eye diseases

    Eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy may show no symptoms until it’s too late. The earlier the treatment, the more effective the outcome.

  • Rule out signs of systemic diseases

    Common systemic diseases such as diabetes and stroke can first be detected in the eyes as part of a comprehensive eye exam.

I absolutely loved Dr Mathews. He actually listened to me when I talked and let me have control of m... y care and did not tell me how my care was going to go. The lady who fit me for my glasses also listened to my needs. (I believe her name was Laura or Lauren, sorry for forgetting) the lady sitting at the desk was very pleasant and seemed to really enjoy her job. The office manager I believe did get a little upset with me because I needed to opt out of getting the second pair of glass at this time due to the fact I will be moving to NM soon and I am trying to save as much money as possible, (maybe it was just an off day for her) but she was very nice on our first encounter. I would 100% recommend Dr Matthew's and his staff Way to go finally a Dr and staff who listened to me.

Great place. All staff were very friendly and answered any questions I had. Has a good selection of ... frames as well, and even told me what my insurance would fully cover when I was browsing. I was in and out in about an hour. Would definitely recommend.
