All You Need to Know
Looking for a thorough evaluation of your vision and eye health? Our comprehensive eye exams in Champlin go beyond routine checks, using state-of-the-art technology to assess both your visual function and overall eye wellness.

We work with a broad selection of insurance providers, including VSP, EyeMed, BCBS, Medica, HealthPartners, UnitedHealthcare, and many others, making it convenient for you to access top-quality care. Additionally, we welcome open-access plans such as Davis and Spectera, ensuring our services are available to as many patients as possible. With a strong commitment to supporting your vision, our priority is to provide you with a comprehensive assessment that meets all your eye care needs.
Patient History + Background
A detailed patient health history is crucial to your eye exam, serving as the foundation for accurate diagnoses and tailored care. By sharing your medical background and any family conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure that could influence vision, our doctors can address specific concerns more effectively. It’s also important to disclose any medication allergies to prevent adverse reactions. Environmental factors, such as UV exposure, allergens, and prolonged screen time, are also taken into account, as they may impact your eye health. With a complete view of your health profile, our doctors can provide care that supports better long-term eye health and a proactive approach to your vision needs.
Visual Acuity
Using the Snellen Eye Chart, our qualified physicians evaluate your distance acuity and visual clarity. You will read letters or symbols that get smaller as you move down the chart while seated at a certain distance. This test assesses each eye's visual acuity with and without corrective lenses. To guarantee accurate and trustworthy findings, we provide a variety of unique charts, symbols, and approaches for youngsters and patients who are non-verbal or multilingual.
Refraction + Binocular Vision
Refraction, often recognized as the ``one or two`` test during eye exams, plays a key role in pinpointing the precise prescription for your clearest vision. Our doctors use their expertise to find the perfect balance between sharpness and comfort, adjusting your prescription to suit your daily activities. We also assess how well your eyes function together to ensure that your vision aligns with your lifestyle needs. Our priority is to give you clear, comfortable vision for all areas of your life.
Basic Color Vision Evaluation
Our specialists perform an in-depth screening to evaluate color blindness, inherited color vision deficiencies, and other potential eye health issues that could affect your color perception over time. Beyond the traditional Ishihara color plates, we use advanced methods to provide a comprehensive assessment of your eye health. **The most imperative aspect of a comprehensive exam is to check the overall health of your eyes. We offer a variety of tests to identify any existing or potential developing ocular conditions and diseases located in the internal and external portions of the eye. If not diagnosed, these defects can have lasting effects on your vision and general health.
Slit Lamp Evaluation
We use a slit lamp to closely examine the front and back of the eye. This instrument, paired with a high-intensity light, allows our doctors to perform a detailed evaluation of both internal and external eye structures. Each slit lamp in our office is also equipped with a DSLR MVC camera, enabling our specialists to capture high-quality images that reveal various issues, such as cataracts, conjunctivitis, glaucoma, melanoma, and carcinomas, while enhancing your understanding of your eye health.
Early detection and treatment of eye conditions are essential for preserving vision over your lifetime. We believe that patient education plays a key role in encouraging regular eye exams, which are crucial for preventing potential vision loss. The eyes offer a unique, non-invasive window into the body’s overall health. Through comprehensive eye exams, we can detect systemic conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure, melanoma, lupus, thyroid disorders, and even certain cancers.

Contact Lens Evaluations
As part of your comprehensive eye exam in Champlin Hills, we include a thorough contact lens evaluation. Our doctors take into account your lifestyle and any health factors that may affect your choice of lenses.
