Senior Eye Exams: For Age-Related Vision Needs
Our senior eye exams include specialized tests to detect age-related issues like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. We use Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), Visual Field testing, and Optos imaging, which provide detailed insights into the eye’s internal structure.

Our adult eye exams focus on preserving your vision and detecting issues before they progress. We assess eye health by using OCT, Visual Field testing, and Optos imaging to get a clear view of possible risks. This thorough approach supports your eye health and long-term vision needs.
What to Expect During Your Eye Exam at Westrum Optometry
We ensure you feel informed and comfortable during each step of your eye exam. Here’s what you can expect:
Initial Vision Check: We begin with a vision assessment, testing how well you see at different distances.
Advanced Diagnostics: We assess your eye's structure using OCT and Visual Field testing, spotting early signs of glaucoma and macular degeneration.
Optos Imaging: Our Optos machine captures a wide-angle image of your retina, allowing us to monitor for conditions without dilation in most cases.
Personalized Consultation: Dr. Westrum reviews your results, explains your findings and discusses any recommended treatments or lifestyle changes.
Why We Use Optos Imaging for Vision Tests
Our Optos imaging system provides a high-resolution, wide-field view of your retina, showing up to 200 degrees of the back of your eye. Unlike traditional imaging, Optos often eliminates the need for dilation, making your visit more comfortable. This technology supports early detection of diabetic retinopathy, retinal tears, and more, providing proactive care for your eye health.
