Сomprehensive eye exam
At French Optical, we specialize in comprehensive eye exams. Our highly professional eye doctors in New York will perform all the necessary tests to detect your vision problems, treat and prevent them efficiently.
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Getting regular eye exams is crucial for your overall health. Beyond just checking your vision, a comprehensive eye exam conducted by our optometrists encompasses a thorough screening for assessing eye coordination, and thoroughly evaluating the health of vital components such as the retina, optic nerve, and retinal blood vessels. These exams can even detect chronic conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes before other doctors might notice.
Why are kids' eye exams important?
Consistent eye check-ups are essential for children’s visual development. Since kids might not realize if something’s wrong with their eyes, it’s important to have check-ups every year. Good vision is super important for learning and doing well in school. Schedule their eye exam today.
How often should adults have a comprehensive eye exam?
As we age, yearly comprehensive eye exams continue to play an important role in healthy vision. Even a slight change in prescription can cause eye discomfort, headaches and other associated problems. Around the age of 40, most adults have difficulty reading due to presbyopia. A natural part of the aging process, presbyopia makes it harder to read small print on labels, computer monitors, books, and other printed material. While inexpensive “drugstore readers” may help, your ophthalmologist will provide a thorough examination of your vision and offer many corrective options that are customized to your specific needs.
How often should adults get their eyes checked?
As adults age, it’s still important to have a comprehensive eye exam every year to keep their vision healthy. Even minor prescription changes can cause problems, especially as you age. Around age 40, most adults experience difficulty with reading due to presbyopia, part of aging. While reading glasses from the store might help temporarily, our optometrists can give you personalized solutions to help you see better.
- Visual Acuity assessment using charts like the “Big E” or Snellen chart
- Visual fields test to detect peripheral vision issues

One of the best things about eye exams is that you get instant feedback on your eye health. If you need glasses or contacts, you can get them the same day. Plus, finding problems early can help prevent serious vision loss from diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Regular exams not only keep your vision sharp but can also save you money on medical costs in the long run and preserve your quality of life.
Make sure you and your loved ones prioritize your vision by scheduling a comprehensive eye exam at Franch Optical. Keeping your eyes healthy means keeping your whole body healthy.

Fantastic selection and amazing service. So friendly and helpful. I was in town visiting and had to use my insurance before the end of the year. I got a beautiful pair of frames, and they shipped them to me. Highly, highly recommend.
