PRIMARY EYE CARE includes a comprehensive vision and eye health examination. This examination is designed to detect a wide range of problems affecting visual function, such as blurred vision or eye discomfort. Evaluations for eye health disorders are also performed.
The American Optometric Association recommends that all people should have a periodic, comprehensive eye exam every one to two years depending on one’s particular needs. At North Texas Family Eye Care, we incorporate computerized technology to assist the evaluation of glasses prescriptions, peripheral vision, intraocular pressure, and eye health. Examinations include tests for glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and the ocular effects of many general health disorders such as diabetes and high blood pressure, as well as effects of medications.

- Pediatric Eye Exams - Early identification of a child's vision problem is crucial. We use pictures for young kids who are not familiar with letters yet.
- Dry Eye Treatment- Dry eyes result from the chronic lack of lubrication and moisture on the surface of the eye, which can cause minor irritations, an inability to wear contact lenses and an increased risk of corneal inflammation and eye infections.
- Consultation for Cataract Surgery - Cataract surgery removes the natural lens of the eye that has become opaque, and replaces it with a synthetic lens.
- Consultation for iLASIK Surgery - If you're ready for an alternative to glasses and/or contacts, LASIK may be the right solution for you! Call the office for a consultation visit to discuss your laser vision correction options.
- Contact Lens Exam - The contact lens examination involves evaluating the tear film layer, analyzing the cornea, fitting diagnostic lenses, and contact lens follow up visits as needed. This means that the doctor has to evaluate the health of your eyes every year in order to determine the optimum prescription for your eyes. Contact lens examination are required on a yearly basis. These tests are done to make sure your eyes are healthy, that the lenses fit your eyes properly, and to ensure that you are seeing as clearly as possible.
