Eye Exams
Preventive and routine vision exams are a vital component of healthy vision and overall well-being. The American Optometric Association recommends yearly or biannual eye exams, depending on family history and personal risk factors.
Often, vision problems don’t exhibit noticeable symptoms, but can be diagnosed by your optometrist during a routine eye exam. Early diagnosis is the key to effective treatment and the prevention of vision loss.

Dr. Teichmiller believes the eyes provide windows to patients’ health and is dedicated to providing eye care with a holistic, preventive focus.

When should my child have his or her first eye exam?
