Comprehensive Eye Exams

At Vision Source West Sahara, we don’t just check your eyes — we safeguard your vision and overall eye health with advanced technology, personal care, and a trusted local team.

Your eyes do more than let you see — they reveal clues about your overall health. A comprehensive eye exam at Vision Source goes far beyond reading a chart.

• Many eye diseases show no symptoms until damage has occurred.
• During your exam we’ll also screen for underlying health conditions — like diabetes or high blood pressure — that can first appear in the eyes.
• Whether you’re 8 or 80, a regular comprehensive exam is one of the most effective ways to maintain clear, comfortable vision and catch issues early.
• At our Las Vegas practice, we combine the national Vision Source commitment to “Advanced Eye Care Services / State-of‐the-Art Technology / Unmatched Personal Care” with deep local expertise and a community-first mindset.

Here’s a step‐by‐step look at your visit so you know exactly how we work, what we’ll do, and how we’ll partner with you for healthy vision.

1. Arrival & Intake
   When you arrive, we’ll gather your relevant medical and vision history — everything from medications to screening for risk factors like diabetes, family history of eye disease, or frequent computer use.
2. Preliminary Testing
   A technician may guide you through tests such as:
   • Visual acuity (how well you see at various distances) 
   • Eye pressure (tonometry) for glaucoma risk 
   • Autorefractor and other devices to estimate lens power 
   • Digital Imaging 

3. Comprehensive Exam with the Doctor
   Our optometrist will perform a full evaluation including:

1. • Refraction: determining your precise glasses/contact prescription
   • Slit lamp exam: a microscope check of front‐eye structures (cornea, lens, etc.)
   • Retina exam: which may include images, OCT scans, or drops that widen your pupils so we can examine the retina, optic nerve and back of the eye for early disease detection. 
   • Binocular/visual-function testing: how your eyes work together, track, move, focus. 

4. Discussion & Personalized Plan
   After the exam, your doctor will review findings with you:

1. • “Here’s our recommendations” (new glasses/contacts, lifestyle changes, next steps, referrals if needed) 
   • We’ll answer your questions and collaborate with you on how your visual lifestyle (screen-time, driving, sports, work) intersects with your visual needs.

5. Follow-Up & Ongoing Care

1. • Based on your age, health status, and vision demands, we’ll recommend how often to return.
   • Because Vision Source West Sahara uses advanced diagnostic tools and frames/contacts from the best brands, we can help you move into high performance vision options when your lifestyle demands them.
   • We’re your local partner for clear vision today — and for protecting your eye health long into the future.

• If you’ve never had a full eye exam (or it’s been more than 12-24 months) — now is the time.
• If you’re experiencing any of the following: frequent headaches, blurry vision, difficulty focusing, more screen fatigue, halos at night, dry eyes, — we’ll want to see you.
• If you have risk factors such as family history of glaucoma or macular degeneration, diabetes, high blood pressure, or heavy screen/near-work demands.
• If you’re a child or teen — it’s not just about “can you read the big E”. A full exam checks how the eyes track, team and focus — things critical to learning and performance.
• If you’re over 40 — vision changes, presbyopia and age-related disease risk increase.

• We are part of the Vision Source network, so you get the national brand’s commitment to the latest diagnostic tech + local, independent practice culture that truly knows our Las Vegas community.
• Since 1990 our team has served Las Vegas with personalized care, state‐of‐the‐art equipment, and a genuine focus on your long-term vision health. 
• We believe building a trusted doctor-patient relationship matters. We invest in you—not just your prescription, but your full visual life: work, play, screens, driving, family.
• In one place, you’ll find advanced diagnostics, top-quality frames and lenses, contact lens options, and a care plan built for your lifestyle.
• We speak English and Spanish, and we’re located right here in the Las Vegas area for convenience and local service.
