Eye Exam

Regardless of your age or physical health, it’s important to have regular eye exams.

During a complete eye exam, your eye doctor will not only determine your prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses, but will also check your eyes for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes work together as a team and evaluate your eyes as an indicator of your overall health.

A comprehensive eye exam includes a number of tests and procedures to examine and evaluate the health of your eyes and the quality of your vision. These tests range from simple ones, like having you read an eye chart, to complex tests, such as using a high-powered lens to examine the health of the tissues inside of your eyes.

Eyecare experts recommend you have a complete eye exam every one to three years, depending on your age, risk factors, and physical condition.

Children. Some experts estimate that approximately 5% to 10% of pre-schoolers and 25% of school-aged children have vision problems. According to the American Optometric Association (AOA), all children should have their eyes examined at 6 months of age, at age 3 and again at the start of school. Children without vision problems or risk factors for eye or vision problems should then continue to have their eyes examined at least every two years throughout school.

Children with existing vision problems or risk factors should have their eyes examined more frequently. Common risk factors for vision problems include:

• premature birth
• developmental delays
• turned or crossed eyes
• family history of eye disease
• history of eye injury
• other physical illness or disease

The AOA recommends that children who wear eyeglasses or contact lenses should have their eyes examined at least every 12 months or according to their eye doctor’s instructions. Read more about Pediatric Eye Exams.

Adults. The AOA also recommends an annual eye exam for any adult who wears eyeglasses or contacts. If you don’t normally need vision correction, you still need an eye exam every two to three years up to the age of 40, depending on your rate of visual change and overall health. Doctors often recommend more frequent examinations for adults with diabetes, high blood pressure and other disorders, because many diseases can have an impact on vision and eye health.

If you are over 40, it’s a good idea to have your eyes examined every one to two years to check for common age-related eye problems such as presbyopia, cataracts and macular degeneration. Read more about Vision After 40.

Because the risk of eye disease continues to increase with advancing age, everyone over the age of 60 should be examined annually. Read more about Vision After 60.

Expert Contact Lens Services from an Optometrist in Bothell and Alderwood

Contact lenses are highly convenient options for vision correction. They are only available from a licensed Optometrist, so Bothell and Alderwood area residents who rely on contacts should establish a clinical relationship with Alderwood Optical and Canyon Park Vision Clinic. We are an eyecare specialist serving the area, and accept most vision insurance plans but please contact us if you are concerned about coverage. New patients are always welcome at our clinics!

About Our Contact Lenses:

• Brands we Carry
  We carry all of the top contact lens brands such as Air Optix, Acuvue Oasys, Biofinity and Ultra.
  
• Eye Exams for Contact Lenses
  We take extra measurements of the eyes and tests to determine if your eyes are suitable for contact lens wear along with evaluating the fit of the lenses generate your contact lens Rx.
  
• Bifocal and Multifocal Contact Lenses
  If you need correction for presbyopia but dislike the idea of bifocal eyeglasses, you have many contact lens options.
• Gas Permeable (GP) Contact Lenses
  We also fit rigid lenses as they offer the advantages of durability, crisp vision and high oxygen permeability.
  
• Contact Lenses for the “Hard-to-Fit” Patient
  Challenges such as astigmatism, presbyopia, keratoconus and dry eyes need not be a barrier to contact lens wear, but they do require more time and patience.
• Toric Contact Lenses for Astigmatism
  “I can’t wear soft contacts; I have astigmatism.” This once-true statement is now simply a myth.
• Scleral Contact Lenses
  If you can’t wear regular contact lenses, Scleral Lenses might be the solution. These are great for patients with irregular cornea, high astigmatism and dry eyes.
  
• Orthokeratology
  Also known as Ortho-K is a non-surgical procedure using specially designed contact lenses to gently reshape the curvature of the eye. These lenses are worn at night, so you can enjoy great vision all day long without any glasses or contact lenses.
  

Are Contact Lenses Right For You?

Making the leap from eyeglasses to contacts can be intimidating for some patients. Contact lens technology has come a long way and are now more affordable, easier to wear, and simpler to use than ever before.  We offer a wide selection of contact lenses including disposable soft contact, bifocal/multifocal, Toric, and colored lenses. Whether you wear daily, weekly or monthly disposables, or conventional (vial) lenses, make sure to check out our selection of lenses that fit your needs.

We will determine the best fitting lens based on your lifestyle needs, the shape and health of your eye. In most cases, you’ll have the opportunity to try lenses on the same day as your exam. You can even go home with a few samples before making a final decision.

We follow up the initial contact lens exam and then make any necessary changes in fit or materials to get you the best possible contact lens. We teach all our patients’ proper contact lens care and also possible consequences if proper care is not taken. Then we continue with long-term follow-up to monitor the condition of the lenses and to ensure that proper hygiene is being maintained.

Getting contacts involves these five simple steps:

• First, you will make an appointment with our Optometrist in Bothell, or Lynnwood; our clinic team includes several exceptional doctors.
• A doctor will evaluate your vision correction needs and prepare a diagnostic prescription for each eye.
• Once your diagnostic contacts are ready you can come pick them up. If you have never worn contacts before, a care team member will provide instructions on how to safely insert, remove, clean, and store your lenses. Proper care and storage will ensure that lenses last as long as they need to.
• Disposable lenses should be changed as frequently as your optometrist directs.
• Once your contact lens prescription is finalized, it can be filled with us immediately. We carry a wide selection of contact lenses in our office.
• To accommodate the changing needs of your eyes, contact lens prescriptions are renewed once a year with a contact lens evaluation appointment.

A Backup Pair of Glasses

Our Optometrists recommend that contact lens wearers have a pair of glasses made with an up-to-date prescription. Since contacts should not be worn during an eye infection and certain other illnesses, having an appropriate vision correction backup is highly recommended. If you have a current contact prescription, we can have eyeglasses made for you.
