Redwood Eye Center offers a broad range of diagnostic and therapeutic services and treatments.
It is recommended that every child have an eye exam by age 6 or upon referral.
Every adult should have an eye exam every 1 to 3 years, or annually dependent on medical history, family history or certain risk factors.
Routine Eye Exam
Please specify if you would like an examination for glasses or contact lenses. Our doctors perform thorough examinations of your eyes and provide you with prescriptions for these as necessary. Our optical staff and full service optical shop is available on premises to meet your needs.
Your exam will consist among other things, of:
– Refraction to measure your eye glass or contact lens prescription
– Intraocular pressure measurement
– Slit Lamp Examination (Microscopy to evaluate the front and back of your eye)
– Dilation (Instillation of drops to temporarily enlarge your pupil allowing examination of the posterior and internal structures of the eye).
Please note that dilation can blur your vision and make you sensitive to light, so you will need a designated driver and sunglasses or shades when you leave. In some medical conditions like Diabetes, dilation is required to evaluate for vision-threatening complications of the disease.
Office Visit
