A Warm Welcome & Personalized Intake

Your experience starts the moment you walk through our doors. Our friendly front desk team will check you in and gather any necessary information about your health, vision history, and current concerns. This information helps us personalize your care and tailor the exam to your unique needs.
 

Pre-Testing with Advanced Technology

Before you see the doctor, one of our experienced technicians will guide you through a series of pre-tests using advanced diagnostic equipment. These initial evaluations are designed to provide valuable insights into your vision and overall eye health. We may perform an autorefraction test to estimate your eyeglass prescription, as well as retinal imaging to capture high-resolution images of the back of your eye. Tonometry is also commonly included to measure your intraocular pressure, which helps screen for glaucoma. 
 

Additional tests, such as depth perception and peripheral vision assessments, may be conducted depending on your needs. All of these procedures are quick, non-invasive, and performed with your comfort in mind, ensuring your optometrist has a comprehensive view before beginning the exam.
 

The Eye Exam with Our Optometrist

Once pre-testing is complete, Dr. Abumaali will review the results and perform a detailed examination tailored to your vision needs. This part of the visit typically includes visual acuity testing, where you'll read letters on a chart to determine how clearly you can see at different distances. A refraction test will help fine-tune your prescription using a phoropter, you’ll compare lens options to decide what gives you the clearest vision. 
 

Dr. Abumaali will also complete a thorough eye health assessment, carefully examining the internal and external structures of your eyes for any signs of disease or abnormalities. Throughout the entire process, he will take time to explain each step, answer your questions, and ensure you feel informed and at ease.
