What to Expect During a Complete Eye Exam

When you come in for an eye exam at Laramie Peak Vision, we do everything possible to make it easy and comfortable. First, we’ll ask you a few questions—how your eyes are feeling, if you’ve noticed any changes in your vision, or if you’ve been dealing with headaches or dry eyes. Next, we check how you can see. You’ll read letters off a chart, and we’ll test each eye, one at a time.

We use advanced tools that check your eyes quickly and accurately. Machines like digital phoropters and auto-refractors help us determine the best prescription for glasses or contacts. We also take detailed pictures of the inside of your eyes using special cameras so we can spot any small issues before they become big ones.

Sometimes, we’ll use drops to make your pupils bigger, which helps us look deeper into your eyes. It’s painless, just a bit bright afterward, and the whole time, we explain everything.


Why Annual Eye Exams Are Essential for Long-Term Vision Health

Even if your vision seems fine, getting your eyes checked every year is still important. Eye exams aren’t just for people who wear glasses. They help catch small problems before they turn into bigger ones.

Some eye issues—like glaucoma or macular degeneration—sneak up without warning. You don’t feel anything. You don’t notice anything. And that’s what makes them tricky. But with regular exams, we can catch those signs early.

We use clear images of your retina (the back part of your eye) to keep track of any changes. It’s high-tech and fast, and we save those images so we can compare and see what’s new or different each year.


Eye Exams for All Ages

Everyone needs eye care, but not everyone needs the same kind of eye care. That’s why we tailor our exams based on your age, lifestyle, and what your eyes have been up to lately. At Laramie Peak Vision, we see babies, kids, teens, adults, and seniors, no matter your age. Kids get checked for lazy eyes, crossed eyes, or vision problems that could make reading or learning harder. We make it fun and stress-free.

Adults usually deal with screen fatigue or needing a prescription for new glasses. We’re experts at spotting those small changes in focus that happen with time (or too much laptop use). Older adults may need more help with cataracts, glaucoma, or age-related eye changes. We use advanced tools to track their eyes closely and safely. Everyone’s different, and so are their eyes. We love giving each person the proper care—not too much, not too little—just what they need to see their best.


The Role of Eye Exams in Spotting Health Problems in the Body

Did you know your eyes can show signs of problems in other parts of your body? That’s one of the reasons eye exams are so important. They help us see more than just how you read letters on a wall.

  • Swollen or narrow blood vessels (might be a clue about high blood pressure)
  • Tiny leaks or bleeding (a possible early sign of diabetes)
  • Changes in the optic nerve (sometimes linked to brain pressure or other health conditions)

Digital Eye Strain

Screens are everywhere, and while they make life easier (or at least more entertaining), they can be harsh on your eyes. If your eyes feel tired, dry, or achy after screen time—or you’re getting more headaches than usual—you might have digital eye strain. Don’t worry, it’s super common, and we know how to help.

Here’s what we check:

  • How your eyes focus when you look at screens
  • How well do your eyes work together
  • If your current glasses are doing their job

We might suggest glasses that block blue light or reduce screen glare. We might also give you a few simple tips, like adjusting your screen brightness or taking short breaks every 20 minutes. And with regular exams, we can track how your eyes handle all that screen time—and adjust things when needed.
