Why Eye Exams at Dominion Eye Care Chesapeake Feel Different

Dominion Eye Care Chesapeake has grown into a practice that emphasizes advanced medical eye care supported by diagnostic technology. During a comprehensive exam, Dr. Brook Keaton looks beyond whether you can read the chart and focuses on why your eyes see and feel the way they do.

This approach is especially important for patients in the 35 to 65 age range who are noticing changes in reading, computer work, night driving, or who have health conditions such as diabetes or autoimmune disease. 

Patients who have felt rushed elsewhere often comment that this exam finally gives them space to describe symptoms, ask questions, and understand what is happening with their eyes. 

Signs You May Be Due for a Comprehensive Eye Exam

You may benefit from scheduling a comprehensive eye exam at Dominion Eye Care Chesapeake if you notice any of the following: 

  • Blurry or fluctuating vision
  • Eye strain
  • Frequent headaches
  • Trouble with night driving
  • Increasing reliance on over-the-counter readers
  • Dry or irritated eyes
  • A history of diabetes or autoimmune disease
  • New floaters or flashes of light
  • A family history of glaucoma or macular degeneration

If you recognize yourself in one or more of these situations, an exam can help identify whether the cause is a simple prescription change, a surface issue such as dry eye, or an early sign of something more serious.

How Often You Should Be Seen

The ideal exam schedule depends on your age, current findings, and overall health. Many healthy adults do well with exams every one to two years, while children, contact lens wearers, and patients with medical eye conditions may require more frequent visits.

After reviewing your history and exam results, Dr. Keaton will recommend a follow-up schedule that reflects your specific risks rather than a one-size-fits-all timeline. 

This individualized timing helps ensure that changes in glaucoma risk, diabetic eye findings, keratoconus progression, or other conditions are detected early enough to respond effectively.
