Why Comprehensive Eye Exams Matter?

Caring for Your Vision, One Eye Exam at a Time

Some of the most serious threats to your vision happen quietly, long before symptoms appear. Conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy can progress without warning, making early detection not just important, but essential.

This is more than a routine exam. It’s a long-term investment in how you see the world and the confidence of knowing you’re in good hands, every step of the way.

What to Expect During a Comprehensive Eye Exam

Comfortable, High-Tech Eye Exams You Can Trust

We use the latest technology to make your exam more thorough and efficient, with minimal discomfort. Your visit may include:

Vision Testing

Quick, precise testing to assess nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia.

Digital Phoropter Exam

A smoother, more accurate way to determine your ideal prescription.

Clarus 500 Ultra Widefield Imaging

Allows us to see more of your retina in a single scan for earlier disease detection.

Eye Pressure Testing (Tonometry)

A gentle, modern test to screen for glaucoma without the traditional air puff.

Meibography & Tear Film Analysis

Identifies dry eye concerns and helps create a customized treatment plan.

Corneal Topography

Maps the shape of your cornea for precise contact lens fittings and early detection of irregularities.
Our approach prioritizes early detection of conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, ensuring you receive the most proactive and preventative care available.

Dr. Bowen is kind, incredibly knowledgeable, and always takes time to fully explain complex issues to me in a manner that is easy to understand. I always enjoy his willingness to answer all of my questions, and I never leave feeling like something may have been missed. I’ve had complex issues with my eyes, and I’ve seen other well known doctors in our area, but I feel that the care I’ve received from Dr. Bowen and his level of expertise is superior. I trust that he has my best interest in mind and that is invaluable. He gives me information on warning signs to watch for and goes above and beyond to make sure my vision is protected. If you want a thorough eye exam that goes beyond what many offices do, schedule an appointment with Dr. Bowen.
