Your Vision. Your Future.

Is your child having a hard time seeing the board in class?

Do you struggle to read fine-print in books and menus?

Regular comprehensive eye exams involve a series of tests that enable your North Central eye doctor to check your eye health and vision. This type of eye exam can only be performed by an eye doctor, and shouldn’t be confused with the vision screenings given in schools or other non-professional settings.

Having regular comprehensive eye exams is crucial when it comes to protecting your eyes from sight-threatening diseases, and ensuring that your optical prescription is up-to-date.

A comprehensive eye exam can also reveal signs of a general health condition like diabetes, hypertension or high cholesterol.

Why Is It Important to Get Your Eyes Tested Regularly?

Comprehensive eye exams are an important part of maintaining great vision and eye health for the entire family.

During your eye exam, your eye doctor will check for any refractive errors or visual skill deficiencies that may hinder development or learning, and diagnose, manage, and treat eye diseases and conditions, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration that can cause severe vision loss in adults.

Many of these sight-robbing conditions show little to no symptoms until they’ve already caused learning difficulties, significant damage to the eye, and/or irreversible vision loss. Routine eye exams ensure early diagnosis and treatment of these and other conditions.

What to Expect From Your Eye Exam

  • Glasses/contact lens prescription updates

    We'll provide you with an updated prescription so that you can see clearly. Some people require a new prescription every year, whereas others only need a new prescription every 2-3 years.

  • Evaluating your child’s vision for learning

    Conditions such as strabismus and amblyopia, and visual skill deficiencies such as convergence insufficiency can negatively impact your child’s learning.

  • Diagnosis & treatment of eye diseases

    Eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy may show no symptoms until it’s too late. The earlier the treatment, the more effective the outcome.

  • Rule out signs of systemic diseases

    Common systemic diseases such as diabetes and stroke can first be detected in the eyes as part of a comprehensive eye exam.

I am so happy to have Dr. Bell as my Doctor again, and it was great to see Henry! I was glad to see ... that you still welcome everyone with your smile. You receive great customer service even when calling the office. I spoke with Joshua, he was patient and helpful. Edward assisted me when I walked in the office, and he was welcoming and kind. There are other EyeTX locations, but this one stands on a pedestal for me. Call, or walk in and prove me right. Thank you! You are a great team, and together you make a great staff! Don't forget that you control your surroundings, and every day you can make it a great day for others, and your reward is a great day in return. Wishing you much success and prosperity. GOD bless!

From the moment that you walk in the door, to the incredible care you receive from providers who tak... e the time to listen and share with you in great detail about your eye health, to the selection of frames and lenses, follow up, and service after the purchase. Just an exceptional experience! We adore Dr. Bell and Henry is a “franchise” kind of employee, he is that good!

I have been a patient at EyeTX since 2014…..December of 2014, to be exact. I had just moved to San... Antonio from the East Coast at that time and was in need of an eye doctor. My dear sister recommended I go to EyeTX on San Pedro. She was already an established patient there and her doctor was Dr. Edward Elder. Now my doctor there is Dr. Elder! He is extremely good with patients and is extremely knowledgeable about eyes and eye care. The staff is wonderful and quite friendly and helpful and puts every patient at ease. No wonder I ONLY go to EyeTX!

I love the team at EyeTX San Pedro. Dr. Bell provided a prompt and thorough examination that address... ed the needs of my eyes as they are impacted by Sjögren’s Syndrome in addition to astigmatism and the natural aging process. I was not looking forward to getting progressives, but, thanks to Henry, I had so much fun finding the perfect frames. When my glasses were ready, Henry helped guide me through how to best utilize my new lenses. I love my new glasses so much!!! My new contacts are also going to help so much to keep my eyes comfortable in addition to seeing better. This team is so helpful, kind, and genuinely committed to doing their very best for every patient. I am grateful to have their help in maintaining my eye health.

Comprehensive Eye Exams FAQs

Is a comprehensive eye exam the same as a vision screening?

No. Vision screenings like the one performed for children in school or at optical-only stores only check for 20/20 vision. They do not check for the presence of sight-threatening eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration or cataracts. They also do not check for visual skill deficiencies such as problems with visual tracking or processing. Comprehensive eye exams are more thorough and use advanced equipment to evaluate your vision and eye health.

How often should I get an eye exam?

Eye doctors usually recommend that you come in for a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year. This ensures that your glasses or contact lens prescription stays up to date and that signs and symptoms of developing eye conditions are caught early before they cause lasting damage.

When should I bring my child in for their first comprehensive eye exam?

A child’s first eye exam should take place at age 6 months. It’s important not to delay eye exams for young infants and children as some early eye problems can affect vision for life. Detecting vision problems early can keep a minor issue from becoming something serious (and more challenging to treat).
