In our office, Dr. Suydam and Dr. Whitaker perform comprehensive eye exams. Our Doctors examine patients of all ages, from infants to seniors. All examinations include visual assessment and ocular health evaluations including Glaucoma testing and dilation of the pupils.

Examination of children before the age of 2 is important for both disease detection and early diagnosis of Amblyopia or "lazy eye". Upon reaching school age it becomes very important that all children undergo annual comprehensive eye exams. While school screenings may determine that a child sees 20/20 or have "good vision", this does not encompass all aspects of healthy sight. Many children have poor visual motor or visual processing skills that impede learning and can create eye strain.

As we advance to adulthood, the risks of ocular disease increase significantly. A comprehensive eye examination with pupil dilation allows doctors to evaluate patients for signs glaucoma and macular degeneration, as well as systemic health issues such as hypertension, diabetes, and multiple sclerosis.

When early signs of ocular disease present, our office offers the most current equipment used in the detection and treatment of these conditions. From early childhood and throughout life, the annual comprehensive eye exam is a priority.
