Evaluations That Give You a Clear Picture of Your Visual Needs 

Bettner Vision serves busy families, students, and professionals who spend much of their day reading, working on screens, driving, and managing full schedules. Each exam looks beyond a prescription update to consider how your vision performs in real life, at school, in the office, at home, and during activities.   

What Happens During an Eye Exam at Bettner Vision

Every comprehensive eye exam at Bettner Vision includes refraction to determine your glasses or contact lens prescription, as well as a detailed evaluation of the internal and external structures of your eyes. This structured approach helps detect changes early and creates a reliable baseline for future visits. 

During your exam, we may assess: 

  • Visual clarity, focusing, and eye teaming 
  • The health of the cornea, lens, retina, and optic nerve 
  • How factors like digital device use, reading demands, or medical conditions may be influencing comfort and vision stability 

By considering vision and eye health, we can recommend appropriate monitoring, treatment, or additional testing when needed.

Pediatric Exams for School-Age Children & Teens

Many families in nearby neighborhoods choose Bettner Vision for their children’s eye care. Our comprehensive eye exams for school-age children and teens assess how clearly they see, how their eyes work together, and whether visual demands are contributing to reading difficulty, eye strain, or classroom fatigue. 

If a child is squinting, avoiding near work, or struggling to stay focused on assignments, the exam helps determine whether vision is part of the picture. When appropriate, we may discuss options such as myopia management or vision therapy to support long-term visual development and school performance. 

A Thorough Exam as the Foundation for Your Eyewear Choices 

In a community where work, school, and activities often rely on clear, sustained vision, an accurate prescription is essential. Your comprehensive exam provides the foundation for any glasses or contact lenses we recommend. 

Once your prescription is finalized, our large on-site optical collection and in-office lab allow your eyewear needs to be managed in one location.

For contact lens wearers, the exam leads to follow-up fitting and evaluation, including daily disposable lenses and specialty options when indicated, so your correction supports both clarity and comfort throughout the day.
