Comprehensive Eye Care in Ohio
Healthy, working eyes are an important part of life. To maintain eye health, we are proud to offer comprehensive eye care. Our goal at Northeast Ohio Eye Surgeons is to improve your quality of life through your eyesight, starting with a thorough examination.
The Importance of a Routine Eye Exam
Routine eye exams are preventative. Because some eye irregularities won’t show signs until later, it is essential to catch any issues early on. Your eye care professional will be able to locate signs of developing eye diseases or conditions before they become serious.
Your eyes are connected to your overall health. Sometimes, eye issues are created by other undiagnosed conditions or health problems. Our experts at Northeast Ohio Eye Surgeons can detect conditions contributing to blurry or impaired vision.
How Often Should You Get Your Eyes Checked?
Don’t wait until your vision becomes blurry to get an eye exam. For those with regular vision, schedule your eye exams following the universal frequency:
Under 40: Every 5 – 10 years
40 – 54: Every 2 – 4 years
55 – 64: Every 1 – 3 years
65 or older: Every 1 – 2 years
Children can begin getting eye exams between ages 3 and 5. While this may seem young, getting an eye exam early ensures healthy eyesight. Lazy eye and other irregularities may develop during these years, so early examination may be the difference between short-term and long-term problems.
If you’ve been noticing a decline in vision, it may be helpful to schedule an eye exam ASAP.
Why You May Need An Eye Exam
You know your eyes best. If light seems to irritate you more, or it’s harder to read up close, it may be time for an annual eye exam. Don’t leave the health of your eyes up to chance. Enlist Northeast Ohio Eye Surgeons to check for these common refractive errors:
- Nearsightedness
- Farsightedness
- Presbyopia
- Astigmatism

Frequently Asked Questions About Routine Eye Exams
From the first call to the moment you leave our office, Northeast Ohio Eye Surgeons is fully transparent. Below are a few frequently asked questions we see as your leading Ohio eye care provider:
Are there any preparations needed before my routine eye exam?
All we need is your current health information. If you’re a new patient, bring any prescriptions you are currently taking. If you wear prescription glasses or contact lenses, please bring them as well.
What if I have a specific eye condition or symptoms?
Let our eye care professionals know about your eye condition or displayed symptoms. This will help us perform a thorough, tailored eye exam.
I have 20/20 vision. Should I still have an annual eye exam?
Yes, you should always schedule an annual eye exam. 20/20 vision only means you can see at a distance of 20 feet, which is normal. It does not mean you have perfect eye health.
Will my insurance cover the cost of a comprehensive eye exam?
It depends on your provider. Inquire with our team at the time of scheduling. We’re more than happy to discuss coverage options with you.
How can I schedule an appointment for a comprehensive eye exam?
We have many service locations across Ohio. Find a location near you and contact us to schedule your eye exam at Northeast Ohio Eye Surgeons.
What should I do if I experience changes in my vision or eye health between regular exams?
If you’re experiencing symptoms such as eye pain, redness, or sudden vision loss, contact Northeast Ohio Eye Surgeons immediately.
