A vision screening at your child's school or your primary care doctor's office is a useful first step — but it's not the same as a comprehensive eye exam. Screenings check only basic visual acuity (can you read the letters on the chart?), but they miss a wide range of conditions including early glaucoma, color vision deficiency, eye coordination problems, and the early stages of retinal disease.
A comprehensive eye exam performed by an optometrist is a thorough evaluation of your entire visual system — from how well your eyes work together, to the health of your optic nerve, retina, and lens. At Harnos Optometry in New Paltz, NY, we use advanced digital imaging to catch what a wall chart simply can't. Many serious eye conditions have zero symptoms in their early stages, which is exactly why an annual exam matters even when your vision feels fine.
If your last "eye check" was a school or workplace screening, it may be time for the real thing. Book a comprehensive eye exam at our New Paltz office today — most major vision and medical insurance plans are accepted.
