Comprehensive Eye Exam

At Michigan Eye Consultants, a comprehensive eye exam is more than “reading letters on a chart.” We take our time, use modern diagnostic technology, and focus on both clear vision and long-term eye health—so you leave with answers, not guesswork.

You’ll get a calm, boutique experience with thorough, doctor-led care—whether you’re here for a routine checkup, updated glasses, dry eye symptoms, or ongoing medical eye concerns.

Conveniently located in Madison Heights, minutes from Birmingham, Royal Oak, and Bloomfield Hills.

What a comprehensive eye exam includes

A comprehensive exam evaluates how well you see today—and how healthy your eyes are for the long run. Depending on your needs, your visit may include:

  • Vision testing (distance and near)

  • Prescription check for glasses or contacts

  • Eye pressure testing and glaucoma risk screening

  • Eye muscle and focusing evaluation (especially for headaches, eye strain, or fatigue)

  • External eye evaluation (lids, lashes, and surface of the eye)

  • Internal eye health evaluation (retina and optic nerve)

  • Binocular vision testing

  • Advanced diagnostic imaging when appropriate to support accurate, detailed care

Who should get a comprehensive eye exam?

We recommend a comprehensive eye exam for patients age 5 and up—even if vision seems “fine.” It’s especially important if you:

  • Haven’t had an eye exam in a year (or longer)

  • Notice blurred vision, frequent prescription changes, or trouble reading

  • Have headaches, eye strain, or computer fatigue

  • Have dry, gritty, burning, watery, or irritated eyes

  • Have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye disease

  • Wear contact lenses or want to explore specialty lens options

  • Are 40+ and want proactive monitoring for long-term eye health

How often should you get an exam?

For most patients, we recommend a comprehensive eye exam every year—even if your vision feels “fine.” If you have certain health conditions (like diabetes or high blood pressure), eye symptoms, or higher risk factors, we may recommend coming in sooner. Not sure what you need? We’ll guide you.

Your eyes are connected to your overall health

Even though you visit a separate office for eye care, your eyes shouldn’t be treated in isolation. We’ll review your overall health history, family history, and medications—along with conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure—because they can affect your eyes and your long-term vision.

We may also ask about lifestyle factors like smoking and sun exposure. It’s not small talk—those details help us interpret what we’re seeing and tailor your care more accurately.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is a comprehensive eye exam just for glasses?

No. It includes your prescription and an eye health evaluation—so we can monitor changes and catch concerns earlier.

Will I get a glasses prescription?

If needed, yes. If your prescription changes, we’ll explain your options clearly—no pressure.

Do you treat dry eye?

Yes. If dryness or irritation is part of your symptoms, we can evaluate the underlying cause and recommend next steps that go beyond “just drops.”

Do you accept insurance?

Yes — we accept medical insurance. Your visit is billed through medical insurance when appropriate, based on your symptoms, medical history, and the services performed.

Even if you’re coming in for a routine exam, we evaluate overall eye health and vision and treat common concerns like dry eye, allergies, infections, cataracts, and other everyday eye issues. If you have specific risk factors or symptoms, your doctor may recommend additional testing to fully evaluate your eyes.

For vision plans, we don’t participate as an in-network provider. That said, many plans still offer out-of-network benefits. We work with Anagram to make reimbursement as smooth as possible when your plan allows it, and our team can walk you through what to expect before your visit.
