Eye and Vision Exams

Eye Exam and Consultation

During an eye exam, Dr. Jim Herman or Dr. Shawn Sammons will ask you questions about any symptoms or issues you are experiencing, medications your are currently taking, any blurry vision, your work environment, and your overall health. Family history and previous eye or vision conditions will also be discussed during this part of the examination. Dr. Herman or Dr. Sammons will consider this information when determining any treatments or recommendations.

Vision Testing

Regular vision testing and evaluations ensure that you always have the clearest vision possible. Our office provides regular vision acuity test as part of a comprehensive eye exam. Dr. Herman or Dr. Sammons will measure how each eye is seeing by using some very sophisticated instrumentation - absolutely the finest technology available today.

Eye Function Testing

In addition to vision testing, an eye exam in our Hurricane office includes testing eye functionality. Our team performs several tests to evaluate depth perception, color vision, eye muscle capabilities, peripheral vision, and responsiveness to light. Several other simple tests are completed to determine whether the eyes are focusing, moving, and working together properly. The test results enable Dr. Herman or Dr. Sammons to diagnose any underlying conditions that may be impairing the eyes ability to focus or work together.

Eye Health

As part of a comprehensive eye exam, our doctors examine the overall health of the eye through a visual examination and tonometry. Dr. Herman or Dr. Sammons evaluates eye health by visually inspecting the eye and eyelids using magnification and a bright light. Often digital photographs of the internal eye are taken to further examine and document the structures of the eye. Since increased eye pressure may be an indicator of glaucoma, we utilize tonometry to measure eye pressure quickly and painlessly. Other sophisticated diagnostic instruments (like automated visual fields, scanning laser ophthalmoscopy, and many others) may be utilized as needed to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of your eyes. After completing your tests, Dr. Herman or Dr. Sammons will review the results and discusses any necessary treatment options with you.
