Comprehensive Eye Exams Eden Prairie
A Unique Journey for You
While your eyes might look simple from the outside, they’re incredibly complex organs with more than two million individual parts working together to help you see the world. So, when you’re looking for an Eden Prairie eye doctor, trust the experts at Art of Optiks to give these intricate organs the care they deserve.
During your examination, our expert Eden Prairie eye doctors will assess your eye health and visual abilities using the latest optical technology and cutting-edge medical knowledge.
From there, we can help you find the right vision solutions for your particular needs, whether fitting you with a new pair of glasses, transitioning to contacts, or scheduling a LASIK consultation
Patient History + Background
Before we start your comprehensive eye exam, we’ll spend some time getting a complete picture of your eye health history. Our eye doctors will also ask about any family history of ocular diseases, vision loss, and other conditions that could impact your sight.
Visual Acuity
During your visual acuity test, your Art of Optiks Eden Prairie eye doctor will ask you to read off a series of letters or symbols that get progressively smaller as you move down the Snellen Eye Chart. This information will help us understand how well you can see at a certain distance, both with and without your corrective lenses.
Refraction + Binocular Vision
Your Eden Prairie eye exam will also include a refraction test, which informs your doctor on the best lens strength to correct your nearsightedness or farsightedness. Then, they’ll assess how your eyes work together, called binocular vision, to ensure you have crisp, clear eyesight and more accurate depth perception.
Basic Color Vision Evaluation
Our Eden Prairie eye doctors will conduct a screening test to check that you’re not affected by hereditary conditions or eye health concerns that could give you deficits in your color vision.
Eye Health
The goal of your eye examination is two-fold: assess your current visual abilities and detect potential eye health concerns that could impact your vision in the future. Art of Optiks uses state-of-the-art innovations in medical testing tools and treatment options to give you the best long-term outcomes for your eye health.
Slit Lamp Evaluation
One of the most important parts of your annual eye exam is the slit lamp evaluation, during which your eye doctor will use a tool equipped with a high-intensity light and DSLR MCV camera to examine your eyes’ interior and exterior structures.
The slit lamp captures photos of these structures, allowing the doctor to closely examine the images for signs of eye health concerns and systemic conditions that often present in the eyes before other symptoms develop.
At Art of Optiks, our optometrists can identify the signs of conditions such as:
- Glaucoma
- Eye cancer
- Cataracts
- Conjunctivitis
- Diabetes
- Thyroid abnormalities
- High blood pressure
- Cancer
- Melanoma
- Lupus
By making annual eye exams part of your regular health routine, you can catch these potentially life-threatening conditions early enough and treat the problem before it gets more severe.
Contact Lens Evaluations
Are you considering making the switch from glasses to contacts? Our talented care team can conduct a contact lens evaluation during your eye exam, saving you time on follow-up visits. Our eye doctors will speak with you about your lifestyle and eye care habits to help you choose the right type of lens, some of which include:
- Daily disposables
- Monthly disposables
- Toric lenses for astigmatism
- Multifocals
- Monovision
- Toric multifocals
- Scleral lenses
- Ortho-keratology
- RGPs
- Hybrid lenses
We also offer a one-on-one class with our knowledgeable technicians to ensure you feel comfortable with your new contact lenses. They’ll teach you how to properly insert and remove your lenses and provide expert tips on caring for your contacts.
Vision Therapy
Sometimes, our eyes and brains struggle to work together efficiently. We offer non-surgical vision therapy treatment programs designed to correct visual-motor and perceptual-cognitive abnormalities in patients of all ages.
Dry Eye
If you suffer from dry eye, inform your eye doctor during your comprehensive eye exam. They’ll evaluate which of the two main types of dry eye could be causing the issue, then find the most comfortable and effective treatment options to alleviate your symptoms.

The eye doctors at Art of Optiks offer each patient personalized care and the latest advancements in optical technologies to ensure the best possible outcomes for your vision. We aspire to provide an educational eye care experience so you understand what’s happening and why every step of the way.
