High tech medical equipment in conjunction with highly skilled staff allows us to have you in and out in anywhere from 15-45 minutes for a typical eye exam. Depending on ocular findings and emergency appointments, it is possible that your visit may take more time.

Having your child’s eyes examined at 6 months of age will help the optometrists at Savanna Eye Care determine if the eyes are healthy, if eye muscle movements/alignment are developing properly and that the eyes are focusing together.

After the initial check-up, annual routine eye exams are suggested, unless stated otherwise.
