Comprehensive Eye Exams

You’ve probably heard that annual eye exams are important, but you may not know why. It’s not just your vision that changes year after year, it’s also your eye health — and sometimes, you won’t notice that you have an eye disease as early as we could with our advanced eye testing.

You shouldn’t have to worry about cost or quality just to stay on top of your eye health. That’s why we offer affordable luxury eye exams in Lee’s Summit, Warrensburg, Clinton, and Sedalia MO: advanced diagnostic and vision testing, performed by expert eye doctors, at completely reasonable prices.

Why Are Eye Exams Important?

Your vision changes throughout your life, meaning that your vision prescription can subtly or dramatically change over the course of just a few months. Getting an updated vision prescription makes sure you’re always seeing clearly without straining your eyes.

There are also many eye diseases that can threaten your vision, and tragically, many won’t show any symptoms until permanent damage or irreversible vision loss has occurred. The good news is that our comprehensive eye exams use industry-leading medical equipment and methods to check for the earliest, most subtle signs of various eye conditions that could threaten your eyes, and our team has spent years creating custom treatment plans for patients of all kinds.

Eye exams are exceptionally important for children, whose eyes change at a faster pace than adults and are more susceptible to certain eye conditions. Susan Lake, O.D., specializes in providing pediatric eye exams and free infant screenings. Because we use child-specific tools and adore working with kids, parents love our work, and their children love visiting us!

Adult & Senior Eye Care

Just as eyes change a lot when we are younger, they start to change more and develop age-related issues as we get older, too. We account for these changes in older patients and take even greater stock of their eye health history to ensure that we provide the most informed care possible.

An eye doctor can only be as good as their tools: if they can’t see the smallest issues in your eyes, how can they diagnose them? That’s why we offer the Optos Sight Safety Scan. This retinal imaging delivers a high-definition and ultra-widefield view of the back of your eye, allowing us to detect even the earliest signs of everything from AMD to cataracts — without dilating your eye. The clearer we see your eyes, the clearer you can see everything else!

All kinds of eye conditions can permanently affect your vision before you have noticeable symptoms: cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and even dry eye disease can have lasting impacts on your eyesight and quality of life. If you experience any of the following, let’s get your comprehensive eye exam on the books right away:

  • Blurry vision or loss of color
  • Red, itchy, painful, or dry eyes
  • Difficulty in bright or low lighting
  • Trouble reading or driving
  • Visual distortion, flashes, or floaters
  • Blind spots or tunnel vision

Your eyes are your windows to the world: make sure you’re seeing it as clearly as you can. Schedule an eye exam at Eyecare Specialties to make sure you’re seeing life in HD!

How Often Should You Get an Eye Exam?

How frequently you should get an eye exam differs as you age:

  • Infants & Children: According to the American Optometric Association, children should at least have their eyes examined at 6 months, 3 years, and once they start school.
  • Adolescents & Adults: We recommend annual exams, especially for anyone who uses eyewear or has risk factors for certain eye diseases. Your eyes and vision can change fast!
  • Older Adults: We may recommend more frequent eye exams to anyone whose aging eyes are changing prescription faster or are newly at risk for various eye conditions.
