Comprehensive Eye Exam
Schedule Your Next
Eye Exam With Us
More than a vision test. Dr. Tufte has examined over 855,000 eyes individually, and a comprehensive exam checks not just how well you see but the health of the eye itself: the retina, the optic nerve, and the blood vessels at the back of your eye.
The “No Drops” Exam
No air puffs, no numbing drops, no dilating drops, and nothing invasive, so you keep your ability to drive home.
You review your own retinal photo with the doctor
Annual exams recommended for adults and children

Retinal Imaging
Optos Optomap Wide
Field Retinal Imaging
Our Optos technology captures a 200-degree, high-resolution image of your retina in a single, comfortable scan — no drops, no bright flash. This ultra-widefield view allows our doctors to check your eye health quickly and thoroughly, helping detect conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy early.
200-degree wide field retinal scan
Captures scans in less than a second
Does not require pupil-dilating eye drops
OCT Scanning
OCT Imaging of the
Retina and Optic Nerve
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) provides detailed cross-sectional images of your retina and optic nerve — like an MRI for your eyes. This non-invasive scan helps us detect and monitor conditions before symptoms even appear.
What OCT Detects
Glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and other conditions that affect the layers of the retina.
Why It Matters
Early detection means earlier treatment and better outcomes for your long-term vision.


What’s Included In Your Exam
What To Expect
Glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and macular degeneration all begin without symptoms. By the time you notice a change, damage has usually already happened. An annual exam is how these get caught while they’re still treatable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in a comprehensive eye exam?
A comprehensive exam can include vision and prescription checks, an assessment of eye health, and imaging or other tests when appropriate. Your clinician will discuss which evaluations are recommended for you.
Will my comprehensive eye exam require dilating drops?
Some evaluations may use dilating drops, while retinal imaging can provide useful views without them. Whether drops are appropriate depends on your eyes and clinical needs; discuss options with your clinician.
How often should I schedule an eye exam, and will insurance cover it?
Recommended exam intervals depend on age, health, symptoms, and risk factors. Appointment length and insurance coverage vary; ask the clinic to confirm scheduling details and check your plan for benefits.
