Comprehensive Eye Exams

Comprehensive eye exams are provided by Dr. Alan Vilinsky and Associates. Our thorough exam, which we recommend you schedule annually, aims to reveal more than just information regarding your overall eye health and possible need for visual correction: it also provides critical information about your general health and well being.

The exam includes:

• Determination of your eye glass prescription...
• The testing of binocular function...
• Eye health assessment including glaucoma, cataracts and retinal evaluation...
• Dilation of pupils if required...

Contact Lenses Exam and Fittings

Thanks to the advances in optical technology, almost everyone is a candidate for contact lens use. This includes patients with astigmatism and also those who prefer bifocal or multifocal lenses. We offer a comprehensive array of contact lenses to suit each individual patient's needs including daily disposables, extended wear soft lenses and gas permeable contact lenses.

Optical Department

For those patients needing glasses or contact lenses, we offer a complete optical department. Since your prescription can be filled at the same place it was written, you will not only save time and travel, you will also have the security of knowing the doctor who wrote the prescription is available to answer questions. Our office is staffed with experienced opticians who specialize in high fashion eyewear and carry an assortment of designer frames with complete knowledge of the best quality lenses available for your individual needs.

Glaucoma Evaluation and Screening

Glaucoma, the leading cause of blindness and visual impairment in the United States, is an eye disease that can lead to a permanent loss of vision. Glaucoma generally provides no warning signs or symptoms of disease, making testing an important part of a full vision exam.

Dry Eyes Evaluation and Treatment

Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that occurs when your tears aren't able to provide adequate lubrication for your eyes. This tear instability leads to inflammation and damage of the eye's surface. If you have dry eyes, your eyes may sting or burn. You may experience dry eyes in certain situations, such as on an airplane, in an air-conditioned room, while riding a bike or after looking at a computer screen for a few hours. With proper knowledge, treatment and follow up care, eye care professionals are able to make dry eye syndrome more manageable.

Macular Degeneration Screening

Macular degeneration is a chronic eye disease that can severely impact vision. The most common type is called dry macular degeneration. The less common wet form is more severe and can be very disabling. Today, through early detection and treatment, eye care professionals are better able to manage this disease

Diabetic Screening

In the United States, diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in people under the age of 65. While it can cause cataracts and glaucoma, diabetes can cause the devastating eye disease known as Diabetic Retinopathy. Diabetic Retinopathy is a complication of diabetes involving abnormal blood vessels which nourish the retina of the eye. As part of our diabetic screening process, we will perform a comprehensive eye exam that includes a visual acuity test, pupil dilation, and careful examination of your retina.
