Comprehensive Eye Exam
While sometimes forgotten about, eye care is an important part of a person’s overall health. To ensure your eyes are properly taken care of, you should schedule routine eye exams to assess your eye health and learn more about your specific eye care needs.
These regular eye examinations can catch problems in their earliest stages and potentially keep them from worsening or help you treat them all together. At Greene & Greene Optometry, we offer comprehensive eye exams in Watertown, Massachusetts to help you manage your and your family’s eye health.
Why Comprehensive Eye Exams Matter
A comprehensive eye exam involves more than just a vision screening test. Along with checking for basic vision problems, these eye tests are also used to assess overall eye health. They may help find an eye disease or another abnormality. Often, the earlier problems are discovered, the better the overall diagnosis, especially if your family has a history of eye or vision problems. A comprehensive eye exam may find these issues before they cause serious damage.
Our eye exams will look for irregularities with your eyes or vision such as:
- Nearsightedness
- Farsightedness
- Astigmatism
- Peripheral vision problems
- Dry eye
- Glaucoma
- Crossed eyes
- Lazy eye
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Eye alignment problems
If our eye doctor discovers any of these problems early on during an eye exam, we have a better chance of implementing an effective treatment plan before emergency eye care may be required.
Our Eye Exams in Watertown, MA

At our Watertown office, our comprehensive eye exams include:
