How Long Does a Comprehensive Eye Exam Take - and What’s Included?

When your schedule is full, fitting in an eye exam can feel challenging. At Arrowhead Optometry, we design every comprehensive eye exam in Glendale, AZ to be both efficient and exceptionally thorough. You get a complete evaluation of your vision and eye health - without spending unnecessary time in the chair.


What Is a Comprehensive Eye Exam?

 

A comprehensive exam is much more than checking how well you can read an eye chart. It gives us a full understanding of how your eyes function, reveals early signs of disease, and ensures your prescription is accurate. Our approach is intentionally structured so each step flows smoothly, allowing us to respect your time while giving you the detailed care your eyes deserve.


Vision Assessment

 

We measure clarity at various distances and check for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and other refractive concerns to determine whether corrective lenses or an updated prescription are needed.


Eye Health Screening

 

Many eye diseases develop quietly. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we examine both the internal and external structures of your eyes to detect glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other conditions as early as possible.


Functional Vision Evaluation

 

Your eyes must work together seamlessly. We assess depth perception, focusing ability, peripheral vision, and eye-movement coordination - important for tasks like reading, driving, and digital work.


Retinal Imaging & Diagnostic Tests

 

Modern imaging provides a deeper look at the retina and optic nerve, helping us evaluate your overall eye health with precision and monitor changes over time.


Personalized Consultation

 

We review your results with you, answer questions, and create a tailored plan - whether that includes glasses, contacts, monitoring, or preventive care.


Throughout the process, our team ensures your visit is thorough yet efficient. We take the time necessary to evaluate your eyes properly, but we also understand you have a day to get back to. The result is a complete, confidence-building exam that fits comfortably into your schedule.
