Most people stop at the line they can read and assume the rest is normal. A proper exam checks the eight things a chart cannot: pressure, retina, field, and the four you have never heard of. Forty minutes, no dilation unless we tell you first.
The part everyone knows: how sharp your vision is and what correction fixes it. It is roughly ten minutes of the forty, and the least interesting ten.
A wide field photograph of the back of each eye, kept on file so next year we compare rather than guess. No dilation drops needed for most people.
Intraocular pressure measured without the puff of air. Glaucoma takes peripheral vision silently, and by the time you notice it, it is not coming back.
What you can see without moving your eye. Losses here show up long before you would ever describe a symptom out loud.
Cornea, lids, and tear quality under the slit lamp. This is where dry eye, contact lens problems, and most of the day to day discomfort are found.
Pick a time, tell us your insurer, and bring your current glasses. Nothing else is needed.
One optometrist, one room, the whole way through. We do not hand you between three people.
Retinal photographs go up on the screen and we explain what we are looking at, not just the result.
Printed and emailed the same day, whether or not you buy glasses here. That is your legal right and our habit.
Choosing by brand is how people end up with glasses they stop wearing. Choose by shape against your own face, then by the lens you actually need. Our dispensing opticians will narrow nine hundred down to four in about ten minutes.
Every rate is published here rather than quoted at the counter. If your plan covers an exam, we bill it directly. If it does not, you pay the number on this page, which has not changed since 2024.
“First optometrist who showed me the photographs of my own retina and explained them. I understood my eyes for the first time at forty one.”
“They told me my old frames were fine and just replaced the lenses. Nobody has ever talked me out of a purchase before.”
“Dr Nwosu spent half an hour with my seven year old, who is not an easy patient, and she left asking when she could come back.”
The corridor width, not the brand, is what decides whether you get on with them.
What the evidence actually supports, and the one group who genuinely benefit.
Two hours of daylight a day does more than any lens we can sell you.
