Eye Exams in Maui

Getting regular eye exams to keep track of your eye health can prove to be one of the best decisions you will ever make. By having regular eye exams, we not only optimize your vision correction by checking your glasses or contact lens prescription, but we can detect any ocular health issues in their early stages. Early detection is vital because it allows you to address any issues before they progress further. Whatever your eye concern might be, the Aloha Eye Clinic can provide an eye exam to help find both the problem and the solution.

Types of Eye Exams

At the Aloha Eye Clinic in Maui, we provide patients with primarily two types of eye exams. These include the standard vision exam and the medical eye exam. We use the top of line technology to evaluate your eyes during your exam.

The eye exam that is right for you can depend on your age, current health, and any additional risk factors. When you come in for your exam, our team of professionals works with you to deliver a comfortable eye exam experience every step of the way. In many cases, you can combine a vision and medical eye exam to receive a comprehensive overview of your ocular health. Contact us today to schedule an eye exam to keep your vision healthy and sharp.

Vision Eye Exams

Vision eye exams are ideal for patients who want to get a general idea of their eye health and update their glass and /or contact lens prescription. These exams typically consist of checking the current vision status of a patient to see if they are nearsighted, far-sighted, or have astigmatism (an irregular shape of the eye). 

Medical Eye Exams

A medical eye exam is commonly more in-depth than a standard vision exam and aims to look for any signs of ocular disease. While a medical exam, like a standard vision exam, can check for a glass prescription, its goal is to look for any issues that can affect the health of your eyes

Below is a list of some of the various sub-types of medical eye exams we offer in our offices.

Diabetic Eye Exams

Patients with diabetes can be at risk for developing problems in the retina (back of the eye). Diabetic retinopathy is one of the key complications of diabetes that we look for in a diabetic eye exam. This condition can result in swelling and/or bleeding in the back of the eye. If you currently have diabetes, it is important to have regular diabetic eye exams because complications can begin before you experience symptoms. By catching diabetic retinopathy early, you can receive timely effective treatment to help preserve your vision.

Glaucoma Eye Exams

Glaucoma is a condition where a person’s optic nerve is damaged and can lead to loss of vision. Glaucoma is commonly associated with elevated eye pressures. People who are affected by glaucoma often do not have any symptoms until the condition is very advanced. That is why it is important to have your eyes checked on a regular basis so if you are at risk it is detected early. Various types of testing are used to diagnose glaucoma and if present sees how far it has progressed. By catching this eye disease early on, you improve your chances of being able to preserve your vision by limiting the disease's progress through effective treatment.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration Exams

Age-related macular degeneration, which affects the retina or back of the eye, can result in significant loss of vision, and may even lead to blindness. As this disease is a leading cause of vision loss in older patients, it is important to have regular exams that look for it. A timely exam can allow your vision provider to develop a treatment plan that will have the best odds of preserving your vision.

Dry Eye Exams

Dry eye symptoms can range from irritation and/or tearing to blurred vision. Dry eye is one of the most common causes of seeing clear and blurry at different times during the day (fluctuating vision). When you come in for an eye exam, we can evaluate if dry eye is the cause of your ocular symptoms. Then we can put together a treatment plan that can provide significant symptom relief and preserve the health of your eyes.

Allergy Eye Exams

Runny, red, and itchy eyes are never fun. But eye allergies can cause these symptoms. In most cases, it is difficult to figure out the precise substances that cause your allergic symptoms on your own. But through an eye exam looking for signs of allergies, can determine if allergies are the cause of your discomfort. We can also administer an allergy test to help identify what you are allergic to and thereby help you find ways to reduce the allergic responses to these substances in the future.
