Eye exams
Comprehensive eye exams
A full check of eye health and your prescription, for children and adults, whether or not you come for vision therapy.
Dr. Parrish does each exam herself and explains each finding as she goes. If the exam shows that eye teaming or focusing deserves a closer look, she tells you and offers the vision therapy evaluation.

About eye exams
Do I need an exam if I see fine?
Yes. An exam checks eye health as well as sight, and some changes cause no symptoms early on. How often depends on your age and health, and Dr. Parrish tells you.
Can I fill my prescription somewhere else?
Yes. Your prescription is yours, and we give you a copy after your exam and fitting.
