Naperville & Plainfield, IL
Eye Exam
At Vision Care Group, our comprehensive eye exams in Naperville and Plainfield, Illinois are more than a vision check—they are an essential step in protecting your overall health. Many eye conditions, such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration, can sneak up on you without noticeable symptoms. By the time you realize something’s off, significant damage may have already occurred. Regular eye exams allow our eye doctor to catch these conditions early when treatment is most effective, potentially saving your vision.
But our exams aren’t just about your eyes; they can also reveal broader health issues. Conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure can show early signs in your eyes, from dry eyes to more severe issues like retinal bleeding. By identifying these warning signs, Dr. Boots can help you address potential health problems before they become more serious.
What to expect during your eye exam
Your exam will be conducted by our experienced eye doctor, Dr. Boots, who will take the time to understand your concerns and assess your eye health comprehensively. Our practice caters to the unique needs of every family member—from ensuring your child’s vision supports their learning and development to addressing adult vision concerns and managing age-related changes in seniors.
Your visit will include:
- A review of your medical history and any vision concerns you might have
- Testing for visual acuity (how clearly you see at a distance), peripheral vision, eye alignment, and depth perception
- A thorough screening for common eye diseases using our advanced imaging technology
- A discussion of the exam findings and recommendations for glasses, contacts, or any necessary treatments
If you need prescription eyewear after your exam, we offer a wide selection of high-quality frames, the latest lens technology, and contact lenses, including specialty options for hard-to-fit eyes.
Cutting edge-diagnostic technology
We invest in the latest diagnostic technology to provide you with the most accurate diagnoses and the best care possible. Using this technology, we can detect subtle changes in your eyes that may not be visible with conventional methods, often before symptoms appear. This allows our eye doctor to treat eye issues earlier and prevent vision loss.
Our state-of-the-art diagnostic tools include:
Digital retinal imaging
With digital retinal imaging, we can closely examine the health of your retina and detect early signs of various eye diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and even signs of hypertension.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
This technology allows us to see the layers of your retina with incredible precision, which is critical for diagnosing conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease.
Visual field testing
This test evaluates your peripheral (side) vision to identify any gaps or blind spots in your vision, which could indicate glaucoma, neurological conditions, or retinal diseases.
Zeiss i.Profiler
This all-in-one device combines an autorefractor (to measure your prescription), a wavefront aberrometer (to assess the quality of your vision and correct for distortions), and a corneal topographer (to map the surface of your cornea and detect irregularities). By analyzing all these factors, the i.Profiler creates a highly accurate and personalized prescription, ensuring you get the clearest vision possible. Additionally, it helps detect subtle irregularities in the cornea that may affect your vision or indicate conditions like astigmatism or keratoconus.
