Why Eyeglass Prescriptions Matter

Many people delay getting an eye exam until they experience serious vision issues. However, even subtle changes in your eyesight can strain your eyes, cause headaches, and interfere with your daily routine. A professionally written eyeglass prescription ensures that your glasses correct your vision accurately, whether you're nearsighted, farsighted, or dealing with astigmatism or presbyopia.

We take our time to study your vision well at Laramie Peak Vision. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we carefully measure the refractive error in your eye to calculate the adequate lens power you need. The outcome is a prescription that creates clear sight, visual ease, and less eye fatigue.

What to Expect During Your Prescription Appointment

Your eyeglass prescription begins with a complete eye exam. At Laramie Peak Vision, we do things step by step so we can find out about your vision needs and eye health:

• Medical History Review: We begin by reviewing your eye health history, current symptoms and signs, the eye health of your family, and any eye-affecting medication.
• Visual Acuity Test: Using the standard eye chart, we test how well you can see at varying distances.
• Refraction Testing: We use lenses and a series of tests on a phoropter to determine how light bends as it passes through your eyes to determine your prescription.
• Binocular Vision Testing: This test examines how well your two eyes work together in moving your eyes and focusing.
• Eye Health Examination: We also examine your eyes for evidence of eye diseases, such as glaucoma, cataract, or retinal disease, to ascertain that your eyes are healthy, except that you require corrective lenses.

Our approach is patient-focused, allowing ample time for questions and discussion. You'll receive a prescription that is customized to fit your lifestyle—student, working professional, or busy and always on the move.

Advanced Technology for Precision and Comfort

While Laramie Peak Vision does have LASIK surgery, we utilize some of the same advanced diagnostic technology in our prescription process. You get the same level of high-quality accuracy whether you're a candidate for surgery or selecting glasses. State-of-the-art autorefractors, computer retinal imaging, and high-end phoropters enter a faster, more accurate, and more comfortable eyeglass prescription process.

Choosing the Best Lenses for You

The right prescription is only the beginning. With Laramie Peak Vision, we help you decide what type of eyeglass lenses best suit your lifestyle, personality, and vision requirements. They are:

• Single Vision Lenses: Ideal for individuals needing correction for near or far distances.
• Bifocal or Trifocal Lenses: Perfect for patients who require various strengths within a single lens for varying distances.
• Progressive Lenses: No-line bifocal without having to look through anything.
• High-Index Lenses: Thin, lightweight lenses for stronger prescriptions.
• Blue Light Blocking Lenses: Ideal for those who spend most of their time in front of computers and phones.
• Photochromic Lenses: Darken in the sun and are great for those patients who travel between in and out.

We're here to guide you through the process so you can choose the lenses that make your life easier daily, whether reading a book or driving at night.

Frames That Fit Your Personality

Once your prescription is complete, the second step is choosing frames that fit your lifestyle and personal taste. Although Laramie Peak Vision continues to craft in-office frame collections, we can suggest local or online sources and guide them according to face shape, frame size, and aesthetic.

Who Requires an Eyeglass Prescription?

Eyeglass prescriptions are not only for those with obviously noticeable vision impairments. Moderate vision impairments can also affect your comfort, effectiveness, and safety. You may want to consider a prescription visit if you find yourself:

• Not able to read at any distance
• Often getting headaches or eye fatigue
• Having trouble reading fine print
• Finding yourself getting along miserably in the evening
• Squinting and rubbing eyes often

Children, in particular, must be screened occasionally since their eyesight requirements can change very quickly. Adults must focus on one eye test yearly, especially if they use glasses or contact lenses.
