Routine Eye Exams
Focus Optometry provides vision care for all ages. From seeing a routine examinations, childrens exams, fitting a teenager into contact lenses or moving patients into their first progressive lenses for presbyopia, we love seeing all the members of your family. For specific questions please don’t hesitate to email Dr. Ogawa.
During a comprehensive eye exam, Dr. Ogawa measure your visual acuity and determine with whether you need glasses. She also evaluates the binocular vision status of your eyes which could be related to eye fatigue, eyestain or reading problems in children. Most importantly, she carefully evaluates the health of your eyes. She looks at each part of the eye from eyelids, cornea,iris, lens, vitreous to retina to determine eye and systemic health. Dilation may be necessary. Because we can directly see the blood vessels in a retinal exam, systemic diseases such as hypertension and diabetic changes can be seem in an eye exam.
For children, the following are warning signs of vision problems:
- Frequent rubbing or blinking of eyes
- Short attention span or drowsiness with near work
- Re-reads or skips words
