Eye Care Professionals evaluate the overall health of your eyes and can also prescribe vision correction solutions such as glasses or contact lenses. Eye exams can detect over 270 different medical conditions, and if your vision is blurry or you have difficulty seeing in low light, an Eye Care Professional be able to prescribe a solution for you.
