Vision Care and Services

802 Eye Care is a full-service optometry center, equipped to help you maintain the health of your eyes, and to give you the best possible visual clarity. We have combined these with an extensive inventory of the latest and greatest eyewear styles. You can be confident that you’ll see and look your best. From the first eye exam to the final fitting of your fantastic-looking eyewear, we’ve got you covered.


 

  • Comprehensive Eye Exams

    In addition to assessing your visual acuity (the ability of the eye to distinguish shapes and the details of objects at a given distance), your eye care provider will test for common eye diseases, assess how your eyes are functioning together, and more.

    Serious health issues like diabetes and high blood pressure are often first detected during an eye exam.

    What does a comprehensive eye exam include?

    Most comprehensive eye exams include the following:

    • Visual acuity to test the sharpness of your vision, usually with an eye chart
    • Visual fields test to check for blind spots in your vision
    • Retinoscopy to estimate your eyeglass prescription
    • Refraction to determine your exact eyeglass prescription
    • Slit lamp to check for common eye diseases and conditions
    • Retinal photo screenings to test for diabetic retinopathy
    • Tonometry to test for glaucoma
    • Ophthalmoscopy to examine the optic nerve, retina, and blood vessels

    How often should I get a comprehensive eye exam?

    Most eye care professionals recommend yearly eye exams. But it depends on your age, risk factors, and whether or not you wear corrective lenses.

    The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends children have their eyes examined at 6 months old, three years old, at the start of school, and every two years until age 18.

    For adults, the AOA recommends a comprehensive eye exam every two years for ages 18 to 60 at minimum and annual exams for seniors age 61 and older.

    What about my contact lenses?

    A comprehensive eye exam does not include a contact lens fitting, so you may need to schedule a separate contact lens fitting appointment. 

    Just let us know when you schedule your eye exam, and we’ll make sure you are taken care of.

  • Complete Dilated Eye Health Examination

    For patients with medical issues such as diabetes or patients taking Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine), we perform a complete dilated eye health examination and send a letter to your primary care physician with the results.

    This helps your doctor manage the medical issues that affect your body as well as your eyes. 

    We have a retinal camera for photos of the back of the eye, and we can check eye pressures and perform a visual field test for patients at risk of glaucoma. We often co-manage with local ophthalmologists for patients with complicated eye health issues such as cataractsretinal problems, and trauma to your eyes.

  • Comanagement of Ocular Diseases

  • Dry Eye, Pink Eye, and other Eye Problems

    If you have red eye, it’s a good idea to visit our office before your family doctor since we can evaluate the different causes of red eye more easily with our specialized equipment.

  • LASIK Pre & Post Evaluations

    Your pre- and post-op evaluations can be completed at our office and reports will be sent to your preferred surgeon.

    We work with local LASIK specialists including:

    • Dr. Juli Larson of Vermont Eye Laser
    • Dr. Greg McCormick of Vermont Laser Vision
  • Contact Lens Fitting

    We keep several brands and styles of diagnostic contact lenses in stock to try in-office. We fit patients with:

    • Soft disposable contacts that can be changed daily, every 2 weeks or monthly
    • Hard lenses for people who prefer them or to accommodate corneal disease
    • Toric contacts for patients with astigmatism
    • Multifocal or Monovision contact lenses for people over 40 years old that have trouble reading
    • Colored contact lenses in several shades that range from natural tints to a very significant color change

    If we have to order trial contact lenses, they usually arrive within a day or two.

  • Eyeglasses for Fashion, Sports, and Work Safety

    With our extensive selection of frames, you’re sure to find whatever you need to get the look you’re after. We’ve got titanium, rimless, acetate, and many other materials to choose from in styles ranging from fun and edgy to classic and subtle. With our large kids’ section, the children can have a great time finding the perfect look. We also have a huge selection of sunglasses in the most popular and exclusive brands, with both prescription and non-prescription lenses.

    We offer the latest lens technologies, including the best anti-reflection coatings, lenses that darken in sunlight and coatings that block the harmful blue light from LED devices. Whether you need distance, bifocal, progressives or anything in between, we have you covered.

    We’ll spend time checking and adjusting every pair of glasses you buy from us to ensure they fit you comfortably. We’ll be happy to adjust or repair them as needed.
