Comprehensive Eye Exams in PAlo Alto, CA
At Refine Optometry, we believe a comprehensive eye exam is more than just a vision check—it’s a crucial step in maintaining your overall eye health. We assess both your vision and the health of your eyes using the latest technology, ensuring we detect any potential issues early.
What’s the Difference Between a Vision Screening and a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
You may have passed a vision screening at school, work, or the DMV and think that your eyes are healthy. However, a vision screening is limited in scope, usually only checking how well you see in the distance.
A comprehensive eye exam, on the other hand, evaluates your entire visual system, including color vision, depth perception, peripheral vision, and overall eye health. We also test for conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and retinal diseases that don’t present noticeable symptoms in early stages.

Key Information
What to Expect During a Comprehensive Eye Exam
During your visit, we will:
- Assess Your Vision: We’ll check how well you can see at various distances and ensure your prescription for glasses or contact lenses is accurate.
- Evaluate Eye Health: Using advanced diagnostic tools, we’ll examine both the internal and external structures of your eyes, looking for signs of conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy.
- Test Visual Function: We’ll measure depth perception, color vision, peripheral vision, and how well your eyes work together.
We’ll take time to discuss your overall health, family medical history, lifestyle, and any medications you’re taking. These factors can affect your eye health, and our holistic approach ensures that we provide personalized care.
Benefits of Regular Eye Exams
Routine comprehensive eye exams are essential for early detection and management of conditions like dry eye disease, myopia, glaucoma, and more. Detecting these issues early can prevent further vision loss and protect your sight for the long term. Even if you aren’t experiencing symptoms, regular exams help ensure your vision stays sharp and healthy.
How Often Should You Get an Eye Exam?
We recommend annual comprehensive eye exams for patients aged 4 and up, regardless of whether or not you’re experiencing vision issues. Regular checkups are key to preventing long-term vision problems and maintaining overall eye health.
Specialized Testing
At Refine Optometry, we use advanced retinal scans to detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Our retinal scans provide detailed images of the retina, allowing us to monitor and treat any changes in your eye health with precision.
