Personalized Eye Exams
Protecting your eyesight and staying on top of eye health is important for maintaining good vision. A routine eye exam offers the best way to understand the current condition of your eyes. At Voss Eyecare, we determine the health of your eyes, and provide the right treatment or prescription to restore or maintain eye health. We prioritize patient care and listen to your concerns. This begins with a detailed patient history and eye exam.
Check-In
When you visit Voss Eyecare for an eye exam, you will be greeted at the front desk. It is important to check-in with your current insurance cards. Also, bring your identification card if you are a new patient.
Paperwork
At check-in, you will be given a form to up-date. Beside your demographics, we request vision history, overall health, medical background, and family health history.
Pre-testing
Once you have been checked-in, an optician will escort you to our pretesting room. The optician will perform a few tests for color vision, depth perception, and an auto-refraction. The optician will also document any vision concerns to be addressed by the optometrist.

Dr. Voss will determine your eyeglasses prescription. If you are interested in contacts or already wear contact lenses, there will be additional testing and fee.
Contact Lens Exam
Fittings for contact lenses can usually be completed in combination with your routine eye exam. The contact lens fitting will determine the type of contacts best suited to you and your lifestyle. The additional testing with Dr. Voss allows him to check the fit of the contacts and measure your visual acuity. He may provide you with trial lenses the same day or he will order trials lenses for you if changing brands or prescription. A new wearer will be scheduled for training before going home with contact lenses. Finally, a follow-up contact lens check is necessary before your contact lens prescription is finalized.
