Optometry
When you have clear vision, you have control over your life—including your home, activities and health. Enhance your eyesight and empower yourself by seeing an optometrist in St. Bernards Medical Group. This type of doctor provides personalized primary care for your eyes so they serve you well throughout life.
Comprehensive Eye Exam
Regular eye exams detect vision problems early, when they’re easiest to treat. Ask your optometrist about the right exam schedule based on your lifestyle, current vision, personal and family health history and other factors. The optometrist’s evaluation covers more than the common vision screenings in schools, the Department of Motor Vehicles and most doctors’ offices. You’ll learn about your overall eye health, including:
- Color vision
- Depth perception
- Eye muscle movements
- Peripheral (side) vision
