Keratometry Test
This test measures how light is reflected by the cornea, the outer layer of the eye.
Test 3 of 5
Retinoscopy Test
When you imagine an eye appointment, do you picture yourself looking into a thick instrument with numerous lenses and dials? That instrument is used during a retinoscopy.
Test 4 of 5

An intraocular pressure test measures the force or pressure created by the fluid in your eyes. An abnormal level of eye pressure can be a warning sign of glaucoma.

Donald SnyderGoogle review I was visiting the area and broke my eyeglass frames. Wasn’t sure they could even be fixed due to the type of frame. Les fixed them for me in 10-15 minutes at no charge. Exceptional service. Highly recommend this business. They make their own lenses on site, too.
We Are Optometrists, Not Ophthalmologists
Optometrists provide routine eye exams, vision correction, and diagnosis and management of many eye conditions. When advanced medical treatment, complex eye disease management, or surgery is needed, we refer customers to a trusted ophthalmologist.
For everyday eye health and clearer vision, your optometrist is the best place to start.
An optometrist typically offers the same eye exam at a lower cost than an ophthalmologist.
