For adults without vision issues or risk factors, a comprehensive eye exam is recommended every two years. Individuals over 65, those using corrective lenses, or with conditions like diabetes should schedule annual exams. For children, the first exam should occur between 6-12 months, followed by another at age 3, and an additional exam before entering first grade.

For your appointment, please bring your current eyewear (glasses or contacts), a comprehensive list of medications, your medical and eye history, insurance documentation, any questions or concerns you may have, and sunglasses as your eyes might be dilated during the exam.

Eye dilation may be part of your comprehensive exam as it allows for a thorough retinal examination. The effects can persist for 4-6 hours, resulting in light sensitivity and difficulty focusing on near objects. We advise arranging transportation home due to these temporary effects.

Contact lens replacement frequency varies based on the type prescribed. Daily disposables should be replaced each day, two-week lenses every fortnight, and monthly lenses once a month. It's crucial to adhere to your eye care professional's specific instructions and never exceed the recommended wearing period.

Larson Vision Care provides individualized vision treatments including comprehensive eye examinations, contact lens fittings, ocular disease management, co-management for laser and cataract surgeries, as well as glasses fittings and styling consultations.

Indications that you may require glasses include experiencing blurred vision at any distance, frequent headaches, eye strain, persistent squinting, difficulty with night vision, and eye fatigue when engaging in reading or digital device use.

The choice between contact lenses and glasses depends on individual factors such as lifestyle, comfort preferences, and eye health. Contact lenses provide a more natural field of vision and are beneficial for sports activities but require diligent maintenance. Glasses offer easier care and eye protection but may not be suitable for all activities.
