What is an Eye Checkup
An eye checkup, also known as an eye examination or eye screening, is a detailed look at your eye health. At Kacee Eye Care, our optometrist will guide you through a series of tests to evaluate your vision and the overall condition of your eyes.
Whether you wear glasses or contacts, or even have perfect vision, these checkups do more than check your eyesight. They also help spot early signs of eye conditions like glaucoma, which often have no symptoms.
