Our experienced optometric staff of seasoned professionals

are available to assist you with your glasses, contact lenses and specialty eyewear needs. WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR NEXT EXAM

You will be greeted by a doctor’s assistant and your preliminary testing will begin. Our advanced technology allows us to establish a corneal measurement and topography image, automated refraction and tonometry (intraocular pressures), and a baseline peripheral vision measurement. The assistant will inquire about your vision needs and concerns, review your medical history, and measure your visual acuity. The doctor will then determine your subjective refraction which is the basis for your glasses and/or contact lens prescription. He will determine binocularity (eye teaming and alignment), assess pupilary reactions (a neurological component of your exam), and evaluate with a biomicroscope the anterior portions of your eyes for any ocular health concerns. A comprehensive eye exam also includes an in depth assessment of the internal layer of the eye called the retina. Your doctor may suggest dilating the pupils to more easily view the retina. An alternative way of viewing the peripheral retina is by utilizing the digital Optomap Retinal camera called the OPTOS. Patients will be offered this innovative technology for a nominal feeOF $40.00 during your appointment.. You will be advised of additional testing and services that are not part of your normal comprehensive exam. Some of these optional services such as contact lens exams, may not be covered by your insurance and can be reviewed in detail with an Apple Valley Eye Care staff member.

What Does UV Protection in Glasses Actually Do?

Just like sunscreen protects your skin, UV-protective lenses shield your eyes from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays — even on cloudy days! ☁️👓

Why it matters:
- Helps prevent long-term damage like cataracts and macular degeneration
- Reduces your risk of sun-related eye strain
- Keeps your eyes healthy and your style on point

Pro tip: Not all sunglasses are created equal — make sure yours block 100% UVA and UVB rays.

What Does 20/20 Vision Actually Mean?
Spoiler: It’s not superhero vision — it’s normal vision!

Think of it like this:

If you have 20/20 vision, it means you can see at 20 feet what a person with “normal” vision should see at 20 feet.
So if there's a sign 20 feet away, and you can read it clearly, congrats! That’s 20/20.

But if you have 20/40 vision, you'd need to be 20 feet away to see what others can see clearly from 40 feet.
(Translation: You might need a little help from glasses or contacts.)

Want to know your numbers? We can help with that.
