How Often Should I Get an Eye Exam?

Most adults should schedule an eye exam every one to two years. If you wear contact lenses, have diabetes, or a family history of eye disease, our optometrist near you may recommend more frequent visits. Regular exams help detect early signs of macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy before symptoms appear.

What’s the Difference Between an Eye Exam and A Contact Lens Exam?

A routine eye exam checks your vision and overall eye health. A contact lens exam includes additional measurements and fittings to ensure your contact lenses match your prescription and comfort needs. Your eye doctor may also provide trial lenses and follow-up care to make sure your eyes stay healthy while wearing contacts.

How Do I Know If I Need Eyeglasses or Contacts?

If you’re noticing blurry vision, headaches, or eye strain, it’s time for an eye exam. During your visit, our optometrist near you will discuss whether eyeglasses, contact lenses, or both are the best fit for your lifestyle.

What Is Dry Eye, And How Is It Treated?

Dry eye happens when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or they evaporate too quickly, causing irritation or redness. We offer personalized dry eye treatment options, including prescription drops, tear duct plugs, and other therapies to keep your eyes comfortable and hydrated.

Can You Treat Diabetic Eye Conditions and Macular Degeneration?

Yes. Our eye doctors provide diabetic retinopathy treatment and macular degeneration treatment to protect your sight and slow disease progression. Regular monitoring and early detection are key to preserving long-term vision.

What Is Myopia Management?

Myopia management helps slow the progression of nearsightedness in children and teens. Our eye doctors in Boulder, CO, offer specialized contact lenses and treatments to support healthy vision as your child grows.
