Everyone Should Get the Best Eye Exam Possible

Optomap retinal imaging is included in every yearly exam.

Skip the Dilation

No one likes to get their eyes dilated.  Thankfully, the eye exams we’ve developed at O’Fallon Family Eyecare avoid dilation and air puffs. Now you and your family can get a fast yet thorough exam without the side effects of dilation.

By not being dilated, your exam will be much quicker and you will be able to try on glasses and see how they look.  Also its much easier for people trying contacts the for the first time to do it without their eyes dilated.  And of course, you won’t have to put up with 3-4 hours of light sensitivity after the exam.

You might be wondering, how can the doctor do a thorough retinal evaluation if my pupils are not dilated?  This is possible due to our Optomap retinal camera.  It takes an ultra-wide image of your retina in just a few seconds, allowing the doctor to see the retina in detail not possible with dilation.  We also show you the image and point out healthy (or not so healthy) areas.

Our Hi Tech Exams Are Faster and More Thorough

Optomap Retinal Imaging

The Optomap gives the doctor a wider view of the retina than a single view with dilation.  The doctor will also show you the images so you can see what’s going on inside.

iWellness OCT Screening

Even the screening setting of the iWellness allows the doctor to analyze your eyes for risk of glaucoma that wouldn’t show up until years later via traditional exams.

Digital Prescriptions

Measuring your prescription electronically is much faster than working manually. The doctor can refine your prescription to a greater degree and show you how much your vision changed.

No Air Puff Tonometry

Tonometry measures your eye pressure and is an important test for glaucoma.  Getting it measured quickly and comfortably without drops or puffs is the icing on the cake.

See and Learn About Your Eyes

We feel that when a patient learns about their eye care, they understand their treatment options better and are more responsive to the treatments that will help them see more clearly and comfortably, as well as have healthier eyes in the future.

All throughout your visit we explain the purpose of each test and the results.  From our exams, you’ll see images of your eyes and have plenty of opportunity to ask questions and have them answered by the doctor and O’Fallon Family Eyecare staff.
