Yearly Exams for Healthy Eyes

Just like the rest of our bodies, our eyes can change over time. Similar to general body checkups and regular dental checkups, eyes should be routinely monitored as well. Your vision may not be the same as it was a few years ago. You may need glasses or contacts for the first time or, if you already have them, you may need a different prescription. The knowledgeable staff at Arkansas Eye Care Associates can perform a simple routine eye test and screen for a number of eye conditions which don’t always have easily recognizable symptoms. Call us at (479) 750-1248 or visit our office today to set up an appointment.

Optomap Imaging vs. Traditional Dilation

You may be familiar with eye doctors using a specialized tool to look into your eyes. Traditionally, eye drops have been given to dilate a patients pupils so that a retina scope can shine a light through the pupils and allow the doctor to inspect and measure the patient's retina. This type of traditional testing is still very useful in certain situations and is used by Arkansas Eye Care Associates, but we also proudly offer and encourage the use of  Optomap Imaging . Optomap imaging allows for our doctors to take a complete and detailed snapshot of the entire eye as opposed to only seeing a section at a time.
