Eye Exams
Eye care begins with annual eye exams from an optometrist. 20/20 vision is only one part of the vision and eye health. Eyes need to be able to focus, track, move, and work together for optimal vision. Dr. Shepard will test your eye functionality as part of your annual eye exam. Regular eye exams detect changes in your field of vision and eye diseases such as glaucoma.
