All You Need to Know

 

Are you looking for an in-depth evaluation of your vision and eye health? Our comprehensive eye exams in Eagan provide more than a standard vision check. Using state-of-the-art technology, we examine your visual performance, detect early signs of eye disease, and assess your overall ocular wellness, giving you a complete picture of your eye health.

 

Our team partners with leading insurance providers, such as VSP, EyeMed, Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS), Medica, HealthPartners, and UnitedHealthcare, making it simple for you to access quality care. We also accept open-access options for various vision plans, including Davis Vision and Spectera, ensuring a seamless experience for all patients. Your eye health is our top priority, and we’re dedicated to offering you a comprehensive exam that empowers you to manage and maintain your vision long-term.

Patient History + Background

A detailed patient health history is the foundation of an effective eye exam, enabling our team to deliver personalized, accurate care. By sharing your medical background, including any family history of conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure that could impact your vision, you help us identify key factors that might require closer attention. It’s equally important to disclose any medication allergies to ensure a safe and tailored experience. We also take environmental influences into account—factors like UV exposure, allergens, and prolonged screen time that can affect your eye health over time. With this comprehensive understanding of your health profile, our doctors can provide customized care focused on long-term vision wellness and proactive eye health management.

Visual Acuity

Our experienced doctors use the Snellen Eye Chart to evaluate your visual clarity and distance acuity. During this test, you’ll sit at a specified distance and read letters or symbols that decrease in size as you progress down the chart. This assessment gauges the visual acuity of each eye, both with and without corrective lenses. For children, non-verbal patients, or those who are bilingual, we offer a variety of specialized charts, symbols, and techniques, ensuring that we capture accurate and reliable results tailored to each patient’s needs.

Refraction + Binocular Vision

Refraction, often recognized as the ``one or two`` test during eye exams, plays a crucial role in pinpointing the precise prescription needed for your optimal visual clarity. Our doctors use their expertise to find the perfect balance between sharpness and comfort, ensuring your prescription is tailored to support your daily activities. Additionally, we assess how well your eyes function together, so your vision aligns with the demands of your lifestyle. Our priority is to equip you with clear, comfortable vision for all aspects of life, from work to leisure.

Basic Color Vision Evaluation

Our specialists perform a comprehensive screening to evaluate color perception, including checks for color blindness, hereditary color vision deficiencies, and potential eye health issues that could affect your color vision over time. Alongside the standard Ishihara color plates, we utilize advanced diagnostic techniques to ensure a complete and accurate assessment of your eye health and color perception. **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

Our team uses a slit lamp equipped with a high-intensity light and DSLR MVC camera to perform a detailed examination of both the front and back of the eye. This advanced setup allows us to capture high-quality images, offering a clear view of the eye’s internal and external structures. These images are instrumental in detecting various eye conditions, such as cataracts, glaucoma, conjunctivitis, melanoma, and carcinomas, while also helping you understand your eye health.

 

Early detection and treatment of eye conditions are essential to preserving your vision long-term. We emphasize patient education, as it greatly contributes to maintaining regular eye exams—an invaluable practice for preventing potential vision loss. A comprehensive eye exam also reveals insights into your overall health, allowing us to detect systemic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, melanoma, thyroid disorders, lupus, and even certain cancers, all through a non-invasive evaluation of your eyes.

Contact Lens Evaluations

During your comprehensive eye exam in Eagan Hills, we include a detailed contact lens evaluation to cater to your unique vision needs. Our doctors consider your lifestyle and health factors to help guide you in selecting lenses that fit seamlessly into your daily routine. Offering an array of advanced options, we provide daily and monthly disposables, toric lenses for astigmatism, and specialty types like multifocal lenses, monovision options, toric multifocals, scleral lenses, Ortho-K, rigid gas permeable (RGP), and hybrid lenses.

 

For those either new to contact lenses or returning after a break, we ensure a comfortable learning experience with tailored training sessions. Understanding the adjustment can be intimidating, our skilled technicians provide step-by-step guidance on lens insertion and removal. With our support, you can transition smoothly and confidently into using contact lenses.
