Your Eye Exam Is More Than Just Glasses And Contact Lenses!
​
Eye exams are an essential component of overall wellness. During a comprehensive eye exam, Dr. Kaur will update your glasses and/or contact lens prescription as well as screen for common eye diseases such as dry eyes, cataracts, and glaucoma. Many eye and vision problems can show up in your eyes without any obvious signs or symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent long-term damage or vision loss. The American Optometric Association recommends getting an eye exam every year even if you don’t experience any vision changes.
​
Common Systemic Conditions Detected During A Routine Eye Examination Include:
​
-
Impending stroke or heart problems
-
Multiple Sclerosis ​

Dr. Kaur works closely with other physicians in the area to ensure complete care of all patients.
