Eye Exams in Baldwin City, KS

Drs. Dobbins and Letourneau speak often about the importance of regularly scheduled comprehensive eye exams, which they are happy to provide to the residents of Baldwin City and its surroundings. These eye exams are important for children to be sure that they have proper eyesight for school and extra-curricular activities. With Drs. Dobbins and Letourneau, your child's eye exam will extend beyond the traditional eye chart reading that is often associated with a pediatric school readiness exam. They will also check for other essential school-readiness skills such as your child's eye teaming ability and hand-eye coordination, as well as eye conditions, such as strabismus and amblyopia, that often show in childhood, may hinder your child in school and in life in general, and can get much worse if not treated in early childhood.

For adults, routine comprehensive eye exams are important for screening for common eye conditions, such as glaucoma, retinopathy and macular degeneration, that are often linked to aging, especially for those over 40. These conditions often may show only slight symptoms, if any at all, and may not be detected in time to prevent significant visual damage if you are not cautious to have your eyes screened regularly for these and other sight-threatening conditions.
