Comprehensive eye exam
A thorough examination of the eyes and visual system to evaluate vision quality, detect refractive errors (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism), assess eye health, and detect any underlying eye conditions or diseases. We accept children 5 years and older, to monitor visual development, detect vision problems, and provide appropriate interventions or treatments. We are dedicated to giving children better vision for life.
Eye exams are an important part of preventive health care. We provide a thorough checkup for eyes of all ages, both to help everyone in your family see properly and to detect early signs of eye disease.
We prioritize taking the time to get to know you and your family and tailor our treatments to your unique needs. We’re happy to explain procedures or tests to help you feel comfortable.

how often do i need an eye exam?
The American Optometric Association recommends that low-risk patients follow these guidelines at a minimum:
Adults ages 18 and up should have an eye exam yearly.
Patients with diabetes, high myopia, or other vision conditions should have more frequent examinations and retinal screenings. We will work with you and your unique needs to determine the best exam schedule for your eyes.
If you’re a regular contact lens wearer, it’s important to come for annual eye exams so we can monitor your eye health and comfort while wearing them. But if you experience discomfort while wearing your contacts, don’t wait until your exam time comes up on the calendar.
Many people who experience discomfort give up on wearing lenses without looking for an alternative option. Dry eye is common for contact lens wearers, but we can help you find another style of lens or provide dry eye treatment to keep you wearing contacts comfortably.
Even if you think you have perfect vision, it’s still essential to have regular eye exams. Eye diseases can begin with few to no symptoms, so a comprehensive exam remains the best way to assess any early signs of eye disease.
Preserve your sight for years to come by booking a comprehensive eye exam today for every member of your family.

what happens during an eye exam?
When you first walk into our practice, you’ll be greeted by our friendly team. If you’re a new patient, we’ll ask some questions about your health history, lifestyle, and current medications. We’ll discuss your family history, give you time to ask questions, and address any concerns.
Comprehensive eye exams are more than just a vision test. Our questions about your health and family history are designed to help us assess your risk factors for eye diseases or other vision conditions.
During the exam, we will carefully and thoroughly evaluate both the internal and external structures of the eye using modern technology. We will measure your visual acuity to determine whether you need corrective lenses, or if your prescription is up-to-date if you already have them.
We may also assess your color vision, how well the eyes work as a team, depth perception, and the way your pupils respond to light.
myopia Control
Prioritizing myopia management early is key. Your children can undergo some crucial vision milestones in their younger years, and vision conditions like myopia can affect those milestones. Myopia (nearsightedness) is a common vision condition that makes distance vision blurry.
Myopia typically develops during childhood and can affect your children in different ways, including in the classroom.
Spectacles and contact lenses can correct blurry vision caused by myopia but do not slow its progression. Myopia control is a treatment program that can slow myopia to protect your child’s long-term eye health and quality of life.
Our myopia control strategies include:
-
Ortho-k contact lenses
-
Atropine drops
-
Multifocal contact lenses
-
Spectacle lenses
Some common signs and symptoms of myopia to look for include:
-
Squinting to see distant objects
-
Frequent headaches
-
Eye strain
-
Difficulty in school
-
Sitting too close to screens
If you start noticing these signs, schedule an eye exam with Dr. Nguyen to determine if myopia control is the right next step for your child.
how learning & myopia are linked
When your child has trouble with their sight, it can impact their life at school and cause difficulty with:
-
Reading from a distance
-
Seeing the board in class
-
Participating in sports and other activities.
Vision-related learning challenges can lead to stress and confusion and, if left untreated, can cause children to fall behind their friends.
With professional care and treatment options for myopia, Dr. Nguyen and her team can support your child’s long-term vision and eye health.
Dr. Linh Nguyen is a certified orthokeratology optometrist.
Contact us to learn more and schedule your appointment today.
At 20/20 Image Optometry, we are dedicated to providing tailored solutions for stable and controlled vision. We base our recommendations on your child’s health, lifestyle, and personality.
Our team works with you and your child to find the right myopia control strategy.
ATROPINE EYE DROPS
Low-dose atropine is a promising treatment method for children with myopia. These atropine drops can help with myopia control by suppressing the eye’s elongated growth.
This treatment is typically prescribed as a daily drop, administered in the evening before bedtime.
Multifocal contacts and spectacle lenses are designed with multiple zones of focus.
The central zone provides clear vision, while the peripheral zones are tailored to alter the way light focuses on the retina, providing a stop signal for excessive eye growth, a key factor in myopia progression.
You can find us on Cedar Boulevard, with plenty of parking available in front of the clinic. We look forward to seeing you!
