Your First Eye Exam at Accent Vision Care
Welcome to Accent Vision Care! We’re excited to care for your family’s vision and eye health in a comfortable, friendly environment. Whether it’s your first eye exam or you’re transferring care, our team will ensure your visit is smooth, informative, and stress-free.
Our experienced eye doctors use advanced diagnostic technology to evaluate not just your vision, but your overall eye health. That includes checking for early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and retinal concerns that may not have symptoms in the early stages.
Before you schedule an exam, please be aware of the following:
Retinal Imaging
- Our eye doctors will perform an Optomap retinal exam during your visit to capture a wide-field digital image of your retina.
- This digital image allows your optometrist to evaluate the health of your eyes and monitor for any potential vision-threatening conditions.
- The digital screening images are only $39 and are not covered by medical or vision insurance. The charge will be added to the balance of your visit.
What Are the Benefits of Getting an Optomap?
Traditional examination methods typically capture only about 15% of the retina at one time. The Optomap ultra-widefield imaging system captures more than 80% of the retina in a single scan, giving your eye doctor a much clearer view of your eye health.
Early signs of conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal damage often appear in the peripheral retina before causing noticeable symptoms. The unique Optomap ultra-widefield view allows your doctor to detect early signs of retinal disease more effectively and efficiently than with traditional eye exams.
Your digital scan becomes a permanent part of your medical record, so that our eye doctors can track changes in your eyes over time. We typically recommend Optomap retinal imaging as part of every comprehensive eye exam. Optomap retinal exams are non-invasive and safe for pregnant women and children.
Cancellation | No Show Policy
We ask that you provide us with at least 24 hours’ notice if you are unable to make your scheduled appointment. Anyone who cancels within 24 hours or does not show up for their appointment will be charged a $50.00 fee, which must be paid before being seen in our office.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
A comprehensive eye exam at Accent Vision Care typically takes 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the services performed.
During your visit, our eye doctor will review your health history, assess your visual acuity and eye coordination, and examine the internal and external structures of your eyes. If we identify any concerns, your doctor will clearly explain the findings and next steps before you leave.
