For 80 years and counting, we’ve put our patients’ total eye health first using our medical approach to eye care. Our eye doctors provide comprehensive eye health exams to help them stay on top of your vision wellness. During these exams, they’ll check your eyes inside and out using advanced technology to look for eye diseases and get accurate vision prescriptions. With our specialized tools, we can comfortably detect eye diseases early and monitor your sight over time.

Comprehensive Eye Health Exams at Bard Optical Peoria Metro Centre

Comprehensive Eye Health Exams

The best way to care for our patients starts with a solid understanding of their eyes and vision, and for that we rely on our comprehensive eye health exams. These exams open the door to a personalized optical experience and a lifetime of protected vision. During your exam, we’ll use cutting-edge imaging and measurement tools to get a detailed view of your eye health and an accurate vision prescription for your eyewear.

Pediatric Eye Health Exams

For our youngest patients, we offer pediatric eye health exams. These specialized exams pay more attention to age-related conditions, such as myopia (nearsightedness). As children grow, their eyes are constantly changing, which is why we regularly check for changes in their vision as well. If we find anything that might be hampering their eyesight, we’ll find the right eyewear to give them comfortable clarity.

Contact Lens Exams

Before you can enjoy the comfort and lifestyle convenience offered by contact lenses, you first need an exam to find your contact lens prescription — which is different from the one needed for glasses. In our contact lens exam, we’ll determine your prescription, look for front-of-eye conditions that impact contact lens wear, and personally fit your contacts to your eyes.

Eye Disease Management

While eye diseases are common, especially as you get older, they don’t have to interfere with your life. With our advanced technology, we can detect eye diseases even before they start to impact your sight. With our medical eye care expertise and many years of experience, you can trust that your vision will be protected as your eyes age.
