EYE CARE SERVICES
EYE EXAMS
All of our doctors perform comprehensive eye exams. As eye doctors, they perform eye examinations with an emphasis on diagnosing and treating medical eye problems. They perform screening and treatment for all of the eye conditions on our website.
​
They also write prescriptions for glasses and do basic contact lens fitting. There is no optical shop at Fredericksburg Eye Associates, but we can write a prescription, and you can have your prescription filled at any optical shop. Because we don't sell glasses, we can tell you whether you really need to get a new prescription or not!
​
In addition, Fredericksburg Eye Associates maintains the latest in ophthalmic diagnostic equipment including ocular coherence tomography (OCT), OCT angiography, Fundus Photography with Autofluorescence, A & B scan, automated visual field testing, Lenstar calculations, Post-LASIK IOL calculations, corneal topography, and external ocular photography.
