An Early Warning System For Your Eyes

Regular eye exams promote strong vision and ocular health by allowing your eye doctor to detect early signs of ocular diseases and vision problems. Since many eye diseases show no obvious symptoms before causing vision loss, visiting an eye doctor should be your first and best line of defense against such issues.

Rancho Santa Margarita Optometry uses modern equipment to monitor your eyes for problems in a friendly, welcoming environment. We use what we learn to update your prescription for glasses or contact lenses and build custom plans to address any issues we find.

Our optometrists can help you achieve peace of mind so you can enjoy life knowing your eye care is in good hands. Book your appointment for an eye exam in Rancho Santa Margarita today.

When Should You Have Eye Exams?

According to the American Optometric Association, adults should have eye exams:

Annually between the ages of 18 and 65
At least once a year after age 65

But at Rancho Santa Margarita Optometry, we know everyone’s eye care needs are different. When you have your first eye exam with us, we’ll provide personalized recommendations to promote strong vision and optimal eye health.

What Happens During an Eye Exam?

Our eye exams often take 30 to 60 minutes but may run longer if you need additional tests. If we plan on keeping you longer, we’ll do our best to tell you ahead of time so you can get ready. Additional tests might include:

How effective your indirect (or peripheral vision) is
How your pupils respond to stimuli (your pupillary response)
Your eye movement

We’ll also look at the health of your eyes, including their:
