Comprehensive Eye Exam

Comprehensive Eye Exams: More Than Just a Prescription

At Frontline Vision, a comprehensive eye exam is much more than reading letters on a wall. It is a vital checkup for your overall health. Many vision and health conditions develop without any early warning signs. Our advanced medical eye health assessments allow us to detect, track, and manage conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes, and high blood pressure before they impact your life.

What is Included in Your Comprehensive Exam?

Our comprehensive exams go far beyond basic vision testing. We perform a series of sophisticated, non-invasive checks to evaluate both how well you see and how healthy your eyes are:

Advanced Digital Retinal Imaging: Unlike traditional exams that require uncomfortable dilation drops, we use state-of-the-art digital imaging technology. This allows us to capture a high-definition, panoramic view of the back of your eye (the retina and optic nerve) without the need for dilating drops in most cases. Our patients love that they can skip the hours of blurry vision and light sensitivity while still receiving a world-class health assessment.
Precision Vision & Acuity Testing: We measure your visual sharpness at all distances and test how your eyes focus, team, and move together. This ensures your final prescription provides effortless, crystal-clear vision.
Glaucoma & Fluid Pressure Screening: We check the internal fluid pressure of your eyes using modern, gentle methods to screen for early signs of glaucoma, a condition that often has no warning symptoms.
Neurological & Visual Function Checks: We evaluate your peripheral (side) vision, eye muscle coordination, and how your pupils respond to light to ensure the neurological pathways of your vision are functioning perfectly. When indicated—such as during initial pediatric exams—we also assess specialized visual functions like color vision and depth perception.
External Ocular Health Evaluation: A detailed microscopic exam of the front of your eye, including the eyelids, eyelashes, iris, and cornea, to look for signs of allergies, infection, or dry eye syndrome.

Contact Lens Fittings & Specialty Care

If you wear contacts or are interested in trying them, a standard eye exam isn't quite enough. We provide dedicated Contact Lens Evaluations to precisely measure the curvature of your eye and determine the healthiest, most comfortable lens for your lifestyle.

Everyday Convenience & Premium Brands: We fit and carry all of the latest, most advanced contact lens brands on the market. To make your life easier, we offer direct-to-home shipping so your supply arrives right at your doorstep.
Advanced Specialty & Custom Lenses: For patients with hard-to-fit conditions like keratoconus, corneal scarring, severe astigmatism, or advanced dry eye, standard soft contacts simply do not provide adequate vision or comfort. Frontline Vision is proud to be a premier specialty lens clinic in the Spokane Valley area. We expertly design and fit custom-tailored solutions—including rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses, hybrid lenses, that blend clarity with comfort, and custom scleral lenses that bathe the eye in constant moisture. If you’ve been told you aren't a candidate for contacts, our specialized vaulting and contour-mapped designs can deliver life-changing clarity and all-day comfort.

Advanced Screenings

Based on your results, we may recommend advanced care pathways:

Chronic Dry Eye Relief: Dry, itchy, or blurry eyes are often signs of ocular surface disease, not just everyday fatigue. We specialize in advanced dry eye treatment protocols that target the root cause of your discomfort. Because your quality of life is our priority, we offer many payment methods to ensure these life-changing, premium treatments fit comfortably into your budget.
Myopia Control for Children: If your child’s vision worsens every year, standard glasses only mask the issue. We offer specialized myopia control programs designed to actively slow down the progression of nearsightedness in children, protecting their vision for the future.
Medical Eye Care: If you are experiencing specific symptoms or have underlying health conditions, your visit may qualify as a medical eye exam rather than a routine vision check. Our team is highly experienced in navigating complex insurance criteria to help you maximize your medical insurance benefits.

Your prescription is only as good as the lenses it is printed on. While basic insurance plans cover standard options, they often fall short of the demands of modern life. In our optical boutique, we specialize in tailoring eyewear to your lifestyle:

Premium Progressive Lenses: Experience seamless, natural vision at all distances without the "swim" effect or distortions found in budget lenses.
Transitions® Lenses: Effortlessly protect your eyes from UV rays and harmful blue light as you move from indoors to outdoors.
Durable, Craft Frames: We curate high-quality frames engineered to last, ensuring your eyewear remains comfortable, functional, and stylish long after basic frames wear out.
