Eye Exams in Concord
Eye exams are an important part of how we care for vision and eye health in our community. For over 65 years, families have relied on our eye doctors for careful evaluations, and guidance that supports comfort and long-term vision.
How We Approach Eye Exams at Family Vision Care Optometry
We provide exams for infants, school-age children, adults, and older adults, adjusting the visit to match your age, medical history, and visual concerns. For young children, we look closely at how their eyes are developing and whether anything may interfere with learning or comfort. Adults often come to us to address prescription changes or symptoms such as eye strain or difficulty at certain distances. For older adults and long-time patients, we compare current findings with past exams so we can understand how vision and eye health have shifted over the years.
What to Expect During Your Eye Exam
Your exam includes a review of your medical and vision history, measurements of how you see, and a detailed look at the health of your eyes.
We check how your eyes focus and work together, and whether there are early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, macular changes, or complications related to diabetes.
If you have noticed new symptoms, blurred vision, glare when driving, headaches, or trouble with close work, we take time to understand these concerns and tailor the exam accordingly.
Eye Exams for Children
Parents often choose our practice because we focus on making children feel at ease during their visits. InfantSEE appointments and early childhood exams help us check that vision is developing as expected.
For school-age children and teens, we look for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and focusing issues that may affect schoolwork or sports.
When a child’s nearsightedness is increasing, we discuss options such as MiSight® contact lenses, Stellest® lenses, or low-dose atropine, helping families make an informed decision.
When Should You Schedule an Eye Exam?
- Infants and Young Children: Regular exams help us track early visual development and identify concerns that may affect learning or comfort.
- School-Age Children and Teens: Yearly exams are recommended as vision can change quickly during growth and increased school demands.
- Adults: Exam frequency depends on your prescription and overall health, especially if you wear contact lenses or have conditions that may affect your eyes.
- Older Adults: More frequent visits may be needed to monitor age-related changes or chronic eye disease.
Many patients also schedule exams for blurred vision, digital eye strain, trouble with night driving, or to update their glasses or contact lenses.
