At your visit we will perform a prescription for glasses, thoroughly check the outside and inside of the eye for problems or diseases, check the pressure inside your eye to screen for glaucoma and check your blood pressure. If you wear contact lenses or are interested in them, the doctors perform additional testing to determine the best contact lens prescription for your visual needs. Our doctors strive to personalize the examination based on the needs of the patient, leaving plenty of time for any questions or concerns you may have.

Five Points Eye Care Center believes in giving high quality care and invests in the most recent technological advances in the eye care field. Our office has a specialized laser called the GDx Nerve Fiber Analyzer that enables the doctors to diagnose glaucoma before it affects vision. To better enable us to diagnose and treat glaucoma and other diseases, we also have a computerized visual field machine and a pachymeter to measure the thickness of the cornea. Our office provides digital ocular photography to document retinal and optic nerve diseases and a corneal topographer that enables the doctors to diagnose and treat corneal diseases and fit specialty contact lenses.
