Comprehensive Eye Exams in Iowa

At Eyemart Optical Outlet, we pride ourselves on providing you with stylish frames and quality vision at closeout prices. That’s why we make a thorough, individualized eye exam one of our top priorities.

During a comprehensive eye exam, we’ll assess your vision and screen you for signs of any eye diseases that can affect your sight. Many eye conditions don’t show symptoms until damage has been done and vision loss has occurred, which is why annual eye exams are so important for your eye health.

The Importance of Eye Exams

We offer comprehensive eye exams to patients of all ages, because even our youngest patients can show signs of conditions such as amblyopia (lazy eye) or strabismus (crossed eyes), which need to be corrected before they permanently affect their vision..

In older patients, we look for signs of conditions such as age-related macular degeneration and glaucoma. This is why every patient who comes through our doors gets an eye check-up first — we care about you and want to keep you informed about your eye health every step of the way.

Eye Disease Assessment

The eye is a complex part of your body, and problems can arise in different parts of it that can seriously impact your sight. We’ll use the latest technology to examine your eyes for signs of any vision-threatening conditions and take the time to learn about any new difficulties or pain you’ve been having with your eyesight.

If there is an issue, we can help detect it early and build a treatment plan for you to manage your vision and your quality of life.

Prescription Update

Next, we’ll conduct a vision test to assess your eyesight and update your vision prescription. Keeping it up to date is essential to ensuring that your new Eyemart glasses give you optimal vision, especially if it sometimes changes from year to year.

If you wear contact lenses, we’ll provide you with a thorough contact lens exam and fitting, since your contact lens prescription will differ slightly from your glasses prescription.

Vision Insurance

If you have vision insurance, you may be able to use it on an annual eye check-up, and you may also have an allowance for new glasses or a supply of contact lenses. We accept many different insurance plans, including those under Medicare and Medicaid, so that nothing stands in the way of quality vision care.
