Routine Eye Exams for
Long-Term Eye Health
You may think of your eye exam as an opportunity to update your eyewear prescription and pick out a new pair of glasses. And while we love helping patients with these matters, eye exams are so much more than this. They’re actually an essential part of preventive health care.
A routine eye exam assesses your overall eye health, detects common vision problems, tests for common eye diseases, and ensures your prescription is helping you see clearly and comfortably.
Eye exams are also invaluable tools for evaluating your overall health and can even uncover health conditions seemingly unrelated to your eyes—like diabetes, high blood pressure, strokes, and autoimmune diseases.
Our team at CHROMA modern Eyewear Eyecare is devoted to protecting your eye health and vision from now into the future.
When Should You Have an Eye Exam?
Everyone’s eyes are different and thus require an individualized eye exam schedule. In general, we recommend following the exam frequency suggested by the American Optometric Association (AOA):
- Adults between 18 and 64 should have an eye exam at least every year, or more frequently if high risk.
- Adults over 65 should have an eye exam every year, or more often if high risk.
You may be considered high risk if you:
- Have a personal or family history of ocular disease
- Have a systemic health condition with potential ocular side effects.
- Work in a visually demanding occupation or an environment that presents risks to the eyes
- Take prescription or nonprescription drugs with ocular side effects
- Have functional vision in only one eye
- Wear contact lenses
- Have had eye surgery or a previous eye injury
- Have a high or progressive refractive error
- Have other eye-related health concerns or conditions
Tests Included in a Comprehensive Eye Exam
A comprehensive eye exam includes several noninvasive and generally comfortable tests that assess your total eye health and vision. Some of these tests involve:
- Checking your visual acuity
- Checking for refractive errors
- High resolution retinal imaging
- Evaluating your pupils (with or without dilation)
- Examining your peripheral vision
- Testing your color vision
- Analyzing your visual system
- Examining your external eye structures
- Measuring your intraocular pressure
- Examining the health of your entire eye
If you have unique risks or needs, we may perform additional tests to help us catch early signs of specific vision problems and eye diseases.

Our Testimonials
Great customer service, very nice employees and a great doctor. They will do what they can to make sure your needs are meet in the most efficient way.
Connor
Love love love Dr. Barber & all his staff! I’ve seen Dr. Barber at his previous location; this was my first visit to CHROMA though. Blew me away. The technology they’ve implemented led to the quickest & most thorough examination. I went initially for my routine exam & to purchase my yearly contacts. Welp- they had way too many cute pairs of glasses & since my prescription had GOTTEN BETTER, I needed new glasses too. I had NOT budgeted the money for both contacts & new glasses. They were so so accommodating: set aside + added the frames I liked to my file, calculated all the prices (with & without insurance for both), answered my million questions, etc etc. Ended up leaving with my exam + contacts + new glasses for the same amount I used to spend on just contacts for a year. Cannot WAIT to get my new cute glasses in a couple weeks! To summarize: GO SEE THEM! I just THOUGHT Dr. Barber had an awesome practice before moving. Now, he’s got the ABSOLUTE BEST you could ever imagine. ♥️

I have just barely had glasses and been visiting Chroma for about a year now and it has been a great experience so far. They are very welcoming and you can tell how much they care for the patience. Top of the line equipment and top of the line service.

We love and adore Dr. V! He is personable, kind, and he knows his stuff! We drive 40 minutes to see him for our son. Staff was pleasant and went out of their way to help with insurance question. The building is super cool and modern. They have so many frame options in office which is super nice! Excellent experience!

I absolutely love CHROMA! Dr. V and the entire staff is so amazing and I know I am receiving the best care with each visit! Everyone is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and so friendly!! Dr. V really takes the time to explain everything and also makes the appointment enjoyable! The office is SOOO stunning and clean as well!

I’m always so so happy with my experience at Chroma. I live in New York and make sure I come back here every year because Dr Barber (and now Dr. V) really can’t be beat. They really take care of their patients from start to finish. I also appreciate how great the staff is at communication before and after appointments- they are very accommodating and helpful to work out the best deal for you. Bottom life- can’t beg you enough to go here for your eye care. You will never regret it.
