The Eye Exam
Eye examinations are generally
recommended on a yearly basis or more often to monitor special eye
conditions. Children should receive their first complete exam by the age
of two.
We are equipped with the most advanced, computerized instrumentation to
provide a thorough and quick analysis of vision and to assess the health
of your eye.
Optometric technicians work with the doctor in performing many of these
tests, along with visual acuity, color vision, depth perception, and
blood pressure. Doctors use state of the art equipment to conduct the eye
exam for health and vision. |

Contact Lenses
We specialize in
contact lenses and are nationally recognized for our expertise.
Difficult patients to fit or patients that have been told that they can
not wear contact lenses are often fit successfully in our office.
We fit all types of contact lenses and maintain large lens inventories
including disposable, soft, toric, bifocal (soft and RGP), rigid gas permeable, tinted,
and orthokeratology.
Wearing contact lenses is easier than ever! |

Optomap Retinal Imaging
We are pleased to
inform you that during your next visit to
Oakland Vision, you will
experience the benefits of the latest technology
in eye exams – the Optomap™ Retinal Exam. The
Optomap will produce the most comprehensive
image of your retina, and allows us to perform a
more thorough exam then was previously possible.
The result is that we can better prevent or
reduce vision loss in our patients with a
simple, quick and patient-friendly new test.
Any routine eye exam should always include a
careful look at the retina, which is located at
the back of the eye, to screen for abnormalities
or disease. The sensitive tissue that makes up
the retina is susceptible to a variety of
diseases that can ultimately lead to partial
loss of vision or even complete blindness. Early
detection of any retinal abnormality is crucial.
The Optomap is made possible by using a new
technology – the Panoramic200™ Retinal Imaging
System. The Optomap enables us to see nearly all
of your retina. It is important
to note however, that should any abnormalities
be detected or if we cannot obtain an acceptable
image, dilation may be necessary.
The Optomap exam is simple: at the push of a
button, we can generate a computer image of your
retina for immediate review. Experience with
this technology has already led to improved
disease detection and has possibly prevented
vision loss and blindness in several patients.
We will be discussing this revolutionary exam
with you further at your next appointment. Here,
at Oakland Vision, we are dedicated to offering
our patients the best eye care possible and
acquiring the tools to help us do so. We look
forward to seeing you during your next visit –
and providing the most comprehensive and
advanced vision care available.

Pediatric Optometry
Our caring staff makes the visit not-so-scary
and we use special kid-friendly instruments to
gather critical data without having to ask
judgment questions like “which is better, 1 or
2?”.
We test binocular vision functions and eye
coordination which relate to visual skills used
in learning.
We only prescribe glasses when they are necessary and we dispense high-quality frames
and lenses with kid-tough guarantees. We fit
contact lenses for children and teenagers and
teach them how to handle them safely.
