Why Eye Exams Matter
Seeing clearly starts with being seen. A complete exam at Southwest Health doesn’t just check your vision—it also screens for serious conditions that often show no symptoms until it’s too late.
What We Look For During an Exam:
- Refractive errors: myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia
- Lazy eye (amblyopia) and strabismus in children
- Silent conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration
- Treatable issues like cataracts and dry eye syndrome
- Systemic markers for high blood pressure, diabetes, and more
After your exam, our optometrists will walk you through the results and collaborate with you on next steps—whether that means updated glasses, eye drops, follow-up care, or imaging referrals.
