Providing Comprehensive Eye Exams in Americus, Montezuma, and Leesburg, GA

What is a comprehensive eye examination? It is more than just checking for glasses and/or contact lenses (although those are part of a comprehensive eye examination). At Regional Eye Center, our eye doctors are also concerned about the overall health of your eyes and your body. A comprehensive eye examination helps us to monitor these. Our eye doctors examine patients of all ages, from babies to older adults and everyone in between. Depending on a person's age, medical history, and other risk factors, we may tailor the eye exam tests.
