At South Shore Vision Care, we provide eye exams for patients of all ages. Whether you’re here for a routine check-up or you’ve noticed changes in your vision, our team is ready to help you keep your eyes healthy.
Why Are Regular Eye Exams So Important?
A regular eye exam doesn’t just update your prescription—it’s vital to protecting your overall health. Many eye conditions don’t show symptoms early but can still cause lasting damage. Our eye exams help detect these issues before they affect your vision, giving you peace of mind and clear sight.
Technology We Use at South Shore Vision Care
Corneal Mapping
With corneal mapping, we capture detailed images of your cornea to help diagnose conditions like astigmatism or fit you with the perfect contact lenses. It’s a quick, painless process that gives us valuable insight into your eye health.
Digital Retinal Imaging & OCT Scans
Our digital retinal imaging and OCT scans provide a detailed view of the back of your eye, allowing us to track changes and catch issues early. This is especially important for detecting macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy.
OPTOS Retinal Exam
The OPTOS retinal exam is a quick and easy way to examine your retina. By capturing a wide, high-resolution image, we can check for signs of eye disease and monitor your eye health.
How Often Should You Get Your Eyes Checked?
Children: To ensure proper development of your child’s vision, it is recommended to have yearly exams.
Adults: Every two years is ideal unless you have a specific eye condition.
Seniors: It is important for seniors to schedule annual exams to monitor age-related conditions.

What to Expect During Your Eye Exam at South Shore Vision Care
Being prepared makes the process smoother, whether you’re coming in for a routine eye exam, following up after a vision screening, or addressing specific vision concerns. For scheduled exams, your eye doctor will review any changes in your medical history and discuss any medications you’re taking. If it’s your first visit, you’ll be asked for a complete medical history, including any family vision problems. During your exam, you’ll undergo a series of tests to assess your overall eye health and ensure that any prescription glasses or contact lenses meet your needs. Your optometrist will also check for signs of potential eye diseases and may dilate your pupils to examine the internal structures of your eyes more thoroughly.
At the end of the exam, your eye doctor will discuss your eye health and vision, address any concerns, and recommend steps for maintaining your sight. Whether you need a new prescription for glasses or contacts or if further testing is required, your doctor will guide you through the following steps. If you’re visiting due to eye pain or vision problems, your exam may involve additional tests tailored to your symptoms.
