Why Special Eye Testing Matters

Many serious eye conditions develop without noticeable symptoms in their early stages. Our advanced diagnostic testing helps detect problems before they affect your vision, allowing for earlier treatment and better outcomes for your eye health.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

This non-invasive imaging test uses light waves to take cross-section pictures of your retina, allowing us to see each layer clearly. OCT helps detect macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma in their earliest stages.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have special eye testing?

The frequency depends on your age, risk factors, and eye health history. Generally, we recommend baseline testing by age 40, then regular monitoring as recommended by your eye doctor. Those with diabetes, glaucoma, or family history may need more frequent testing.

Are these tests covered by insurance?

Many diagnostic tests are covered by insurance when medically necessary. We'll verify your coverage before testing and discuss any out-of-pocket costs with you upfront.

How long do the tests take?

Most individual tests take just a few minutes to complete. A comprehensive testing session typically takes 30-45 minutes, depending on which tests are needed for your specific situation.

Will I need to dilate my pupils?

Many of our advanced tests don't require dilation, which means you can drive yourself home and return to work immediately. However, some tests may require dilation for the most complete evaluation.
