At the Kraff Eye Institute, we fully understand the importance of great vision. Many eye related diseases, if caught early, can be monitored and treated resulting in good eyesight throughout a person’s lifetime. For this very reason, we stress the importance of our patient’s having a complete eye exam every 1 to 2 years.

Although many people believe a yearly exam is only to get an updated glasses or contact lens prescription, it’s so much more. What most people do not know is that some diseases, glaucoma in particular, may not have any warning signs and can be detected during a routine eye exam.
Patients can rest assured when coming to our practice because our team of ophthalmologists are trained and educated on all areas and types of diseases of the eye.

We can also exam the cornea and treat issues such as abrasions, erosions, and ulcers.
During the complete eye exam, we will perform several tests to measure your visual acuity, check for diseases, and determine the cause of any visual changes you may be experiencing. Dilation is an important part of a complete eye exam. It is the only way an ophthalmologist can get a full view of all internal structures of the eye including the retina.
Dilation is just one aspect of helping to ensure a person has healthy eyes. If warranted, Kraff Eye Institute will utilize advanced diagnostic tools to help better assess a patient’s ocular health. The additional tools include visual field, ocular coherence tomography, Lipiscan, Pentacam, corneal topographer, corneal pachymeter, endothelial cell count, and keratometer.
The duration of a visit for a comprehensive exam depends greatly on which measurements need to be done during the exam. Although most exams can take around an hour, the effects of being dilated can last several hours.

The providers at Kraff Eye Institute do accept most major medical insurance PPO plans. It is the patient’s responsibility to check with their insurance carriers to see if our ophthalmologists or optometrists are in network and if the deductible has been met for their plan. If the patient is paying out of pocket, they are responsible for payment at the conclusion of the exam.
