How Does your Vision Change Over Time?

Your eyes change as part of the natural aging process – but factors like hormones, pregnancy, medications, screen time, and environmental conditions can accelerate those changes. That’s why regular eye exams are critical, not only to keep your prescription up to date but also to protect your long-term eye health.

Wondering, “Where can I get an eye exam near me?” Contact us to schedule an appointment at your convenience.

What is Included in a Comprehensive Eye Exam?

Unlike a basic eye check, a comprehensive eye exam in College Station, TX includes a full evaluation of your vision and eye health. Our experienced optometrists review your medical history, family eye health, medications, past surgeries, and lifestyle factors that may impact your eyes.

We use advanced diagnostic tools and state-of-the-art technology to assess every aspect of your vision, ensuring you receive the highest quality of care.

A key part of the exam is the refraction test, where we determine your glasses or contact lens prescription by testing how different lenses sharpen your vision.

Based on your specific case, the doctor may perform any of the following tests:

If needed, we also provide screenings for eye diseases like cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.

How Long Does an Eye Exam Take?

A comprehensive eye exam typically takes about 45 minutes to one hour, depending on the complexity of your visual needs. No two patients are the same, and if we identify any eye conditions – such as dry eye, astigmatism, or early signs of eye disease – we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan to keep your vision clear and healthy.

Children's Eye Exams in College Station, TX

Children’s vision needs are unique. From toddlers to teens, pediatric eye exams help ensure your child is seeing clearly at home, in school, and on the playing field. Since 80% of learning is visual, regular children’s eye exams can detect issues that might otherwise be mistaken for behavioral or learning challenges.

Common signs of vision problems in kids include:

  • Headaches or eye strain after schoolwork
  • Trouble concentrating or restlessness
  • Squinting at the board or screen
  • Poor sports performance or coordination

The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends eye exams at 6 months, 3 years, before starting school, and every 2 years afterward. At Brazos Valley Eyecare, we provide gentle, thorough children’s eye exams to support your child’s healthy development.
