Our goal is to make eye care at our member practices as convenient, professional, and compassionate as possible by partnering with exceptional local eye doctors and giving them the equipment and technology they need to provide you a great experience.

This mission truly shines through during our eye exams. Our eye doctors are tremendously skilled at providing thorough screenings, specialized eye care, and tailored solutions, in large part because they simply love learning more about our patients. Read on to learn what sets our eye exams apart!

Note: Not all services listed below are available at every store in the Local Eye Doctor network. Please call a specific location to learn more about their current services and selection.

Why Are Annual Eye Exams Important?

Your eyes can change a great deal over the course of a year. As your vision prescription fluctuates over time, old eyeglasses and contact lenses can start to cause eye strain. Your eye health can drastically change, too: many eye diseases won’t have any obvious symptoms before causing vision loss, but our expert eye doctors can catch the earliest signs of these conditions and help you manage them.

Thorough Complete Exams

All our providers will explore your ongoing eye health and help you find the best eye care and eyewear solutions for your personal needs. We offer a combination of these services at most locations, so please contact your local provider to see what they offer and how they can help you achieve your clearest possible eyesight!

Medical Eye Care

Our eye doctors use advanced medical technology to screen for the earliest signs of uncomfortable and vision-threatening eye conditions, from dry eye to macular degeneration, glaucoma, corneal issues, and more. From there, we can craft a plan to help you manage your eye health, using tailored solutions that meet your specific needs.

Pediatric Eye Exams

Children rely on their vision a lot as they develop, but because their eyes are still growing, they require more specialized eye care. Our eye doctors check for developmental milestones, screen for eye diseases more common in children, and help kids pick eyeglasses they’ll truly love to wear.

Vision Prescriptions & Fittings for Glasses & Contact Lenses

Eyeglasses and contact lenses require slightly different vision prescriptions, but luckily, our eye doctors have years of experience finding precise prescriptions for lenses of all kinds. We’ll also help you make sure your eyewear fits comfortably and matches both your budget and style.

Specialty Contact Lenses

Many patients have needs that only specialized eyewear can solve, or that make effectively wearing standard contacts impossible. Our specialty contact lenses, such as scleral lenses for corneal issues and dry eye, can be customized to each patient’s case.
