Invest in Your Vision With Regular Eye Exams

Eye care is a critical part of your overall health. At Northwest Eye Center, we encourage routine eye exams to make sure your eyes are healthy and your vision is good. For the best results, annual appointments are recommended to protect your health and your vision.


At your appointment, we'll go over your history and give your eyes a thorough look. Because we have ophthalmologists on staff, we can provide an advanced level of care. The average optometrist simply isn't trained to offer the level of service our doctors provide for you and your eyes.


  • Comprehensive Eye Exams - thorough assessment of your eye health and visual acuity
  • Dialation - eye drops that enlarge your pupils to examine the inside of your eye
  • Glaucoma Test - measurement of the pressure inside your eye with the “puff of air” test, which is painless and analyzes how the eye resists to the air puff
  • Slit-Lamp Examination - procedure used by ophthalmologists to examine the structures of the front and inside of your eye using a specialized microscope equipped with a bright, adjustable slit-shaped light source, allowing for a magnified and detailed view of the cornea, conjuctiva, iris, pupil, anterior chamber and lens to find eye dieases and infections
  • Refraction Vision Correction Testing - determine level of presbyopia, nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism and prescription needed for glasses or contacts
