Comprehensive Eye Health Exam in Bard Optical Pontiac

Comprehensive Eye Health Exams

At Bard Optical, great eyesight always starts with one of our comprehensive eye health exams, which give us a detailed view of your eyes and their health. Our eye doctors do far more than simply update your prescription — they also look into the various structures of your eyes to check for any signs of diseases that can affect your eyesight.

Pediatric Eye Health Exam at Bard Optical Pontiac

Pediatric Eye Health Exam

Children’s eyes are constantly growing and changing, which means they need a slightly different approach to their eye health exams. During our pediatric eye health exam, we check your child’s eyes for conditions and diseases that are more common in younger eyes, including strabismus (crossed eyes), myopia (nearsightedness), and amblyopia (lazy eye).

Contact Lens Exams

Contact lenses require a precise fit and prescription to help you see better, so we offer contact lens exams to get your exact measurements. We’ll map out your eyes during these exams, and check for conditions that could complicate wearing contact lenses, like issues with your cornea, or dry eye disease.

Eye Disease Management at Bard Optical Pontiac

Eye Disease Management

Dry eye disease is a common yet uncomfortable condition where your eyes are either producing low-quality tears, or simply not enough of them. Our team can identify the root cause of your dry eye disease and tailor a treatment plan to get you fast and lasting relief while addressing the underlying issue.

No optometrist on site right now but customer service was great from start to finish. The accepted my prescription from the vision venter at Walmart and my state insurance through meridian. The glasses I got were even cute and up to date style not just basic wire frames.
