Your Vision. Your Future.

Is your child having a hard time seeing the board in class?

Do you struggle to read fine-print in books and menus?

Regular comprehensive eye exams involve a series of tests that enable your Livonia eye doctor to check your eye health and vision. This type of eye exam can only be performed by an eye doctor, and shouldn’t be confused with the vision screenings given in schools or other non-professional settings.

Having regular comprehensive eye exams is crucial when it comes to protecting your eyes from sight-threatening diseases, and ensuring that your optical prescription is up-to-date.

A comprehensive eye exam can also reveal signs of a general health condition like diabetes, hypertension or high cholesterol.

Why Is It Important to Get Your Eyes Tested Regularly?

Comprehensive eye exams are an important part of maintaining great vision and eye health for the entire family.

During your eye exam, your eye doctor will check for any refractive errors or visual skill deficiencies that may hinder development or learning, and diagnose, manage, and treat eye diseases and conditions, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration that can cause severe vision loss in adults.

Many of these sight-robbing conditions show little to no symptoms until they’ve already caused learning difficulties, significant damage to the eye, and/or irreversible vision loss. Routine eye exams ensure early diagnosis and treatment of these and other conditions.

What to Expect From Your Eye Exam

  • Glasses/contact lens prescription updates

    We'll provide you with an updated prescription so that you can see clearly. Some people require a new prescription every year, whereas others only need a new prescription every 2-3 years.

  • Evaluating your child’s vision for learning

    Conditions such as strabismus and amblyopia, and visual skill deficiencies such as convergence insufficiency can negatively impact your child’s learning.

  • Diagnosis & treatment of eye diseases

    Eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy may show no symptoms until it’s too late. The earlier the treatment, the more effective the outcome.

  • Rule out signs of systemic diseases

    Common systemic diseases such as diabetes and stroke can first be detected in the eyes as part of a comprehensive eye exam.

Comprehensive Eye Exams FAQs

Is a comprehensive eye exam the same as a vision screening?

No. Vision screenings like the one performed for children in school or at optical-only stores only check for 20/20 vision. They do not check for the presence of sight-threatening eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration or cataracts. They also do not check for visual skill deficiencies such as problems with visual tracking or processing. Comprehensive eye exams are more thorough and use advanced equipment to evaluate your vision and eye health.

How often should I get an eye exam?

Eye doctors usually recommend that you come in for a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year. This ensures that your glasses or contact lens prescription stays up to date and that signs and symptoms of developing eye conditions are caught early before they cause lasting damage.

When should I bring my child in for their first comprehensive eye exam?

It’s important not to delay eye exams for young infants and children as some early eye problems can affect vision for life. Detecting vision problems early can keep a minor issue from becoming something serious (and more challenging to treat).

I had a great experience working with Suburban Eye care and Amanda in VT. Before starting eye therap... y, I had been struggling for a long time with a variety of issues, including dry eyes and headaches, all of which started after I had LASIK surgery. I saw multiple specialists, but nothing seemed to help. After starting eye therapy, the results were truly transformative. One of the biggest changes for me has been my dry eyes. I used to have to use eye drops every 30 minutes, but because of the eye therapy, I haven’t needed to use them at all! The reduction in my headaches has been another huge improvement. I’m also amazed at how much my visual memory has improved, which I never expected to be related to my vision issues. The staff at this center is knowledgeable and supportive throughout the entire process. They do a great job at helping you understand the “why” behind the exercises and tailor activities to meet you where you’re at to ultimately reach your goals. I’m grateful for the progress I’ve made and would highly recommend this therapy to anyone struggling with similar issues.

High quality, thorough eye exams. Dr. Smith is excellent. Staff are excellent. Very accommodatin... g appointments. They've helped me with exams, glasses and occasional eye pain issues caused by foreign objects. I read another comment you can't get exams here and then take the script to Costco. I've done that, no problem. They were perfectly ok with that. One of a few places that offered vision therapy if you need that.

I see Dr. Arnold in this office. He's super patient and very knowledgeable, as is everyone I've inte... racted with here. Everyone is kind and willing to help. Dr. Arnold has also gone above and beyond, as far as I'm concerned. I was overthinking the eye exam (which is better, 1 or 2) and was struggling to get the proper prescription. Dr. Arnold helped by asking new questions and trying new methods to help in ways that worked better for my brain. I definitely appreciate all he has done, as well as all the staff, for making going to Suburban Eye Care a great experience.

We are so happy we decided to enroll our daughter in vision therapy. Before starting the program, s... he struggled with reading. Even with support from her teachers and school interventionist, her fluency remained slow. Since completing the program, we've seen tremendous improvement in her test scores, reading level, and—most importantly—her confidence. The therapy addressed not only eye tracking but also other essential skills that have helped her feel more successful in school. I highly recommend this program to any parent, and I especially recommend Suburban Eye Care. The team was responsive to all of my emails, questions, and concerns throughout the process. The program itself was engaging and hands-on, and the staff made it truly enjoyable. My daughter always looked forward to her sessions and never wanted to leave—they made learning fun! We are forever grateful for the growth and success our daughter has experienced.

Amazing place to do Vision Therapy! My 10 year old daughter was here for 9 months and her improvemen... ts were amazing. She loved her vision therapists and can also see her work has helped her in school and everyday life.

After a head injury, I was experiencing vision problems for about 10 years. My vision was blurry and... looked almost like a vhs recording or an old CRT TV. It was incredibly difficult to read, especially on screens, and I frequently became dizzy, anxious, and nauseated. I had panic attacks randomly and felt off balance and dissociated all the time. I also had severe TMJ and neck pain. I saw several doctors (including eye doctors, neurologists, ENTs and Psychiatrists) and received many different treatments including sinus surgery, TMJ botox, and several different anxiety medications. Unfortunately, none of these really had an impact, and my symptoms persisted. Other eye doctors I saw said my eyes were dry from allergies and all my routine eye exams were normal. It wasn't until I was screened for vision dysfuntion by Dr. Smith that I learned that it was not just anxiety or allergies and I had vision problems that could be treated through vision therapy. Dr. Smith and Ms. Amanda were incredibly caring and skilled, and after completing a 4 month VT program, I no longer suffer from any of my previous symptoms. My life has changed completely, and it's amazing to go through a work day without dry heaving or having a panic attack. It was also nice that all of the activities for VT were similar to games, and there were no pills or surgeries involved. I was a little sceptical of the light bed therapy, but once I started the light bed sessions I was amazed how effective it was for reducing my nausea and managing my sensory issues. I can't recommend VT highly enough!!!

Wow. This was my second visit to Suburban EyeCare and I am beyond happy that I have chosen them to b... e my eye care provider. Every member of their team with whom I interacted was professional, polite, helpful and kind, in a very sincere and genuine way. I have been to numerous eye care providers over the years and Suburban EyeCare is by far the best. Thank you to my friend Jack E for the initial referral last summer - he told me they were great, and he was 100% correct.

We loved working with Ms. Amanda for vision therapy for our 10 year-old. She was great communicating... with us to ensure proper practice was done on the at home work. The practice bribes were a hit. We were always greeted with a smile and it’s a bonus that they have things to do for siblings in the waiting room.
