We truly believe in routine eye examinations so that you can see as clearly as possible. Once you have to get glasses or contacts, it is even more important to watch the health of your eyes. You also need routine checks to ensure your prescription has not changed.
To ensure good eye health and vision, we are very proud to offer the following services:
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Here at Visionary Optometry of Modesto, we want to ensure that your eyes are working properly by giving you a vision exam.
Vision examinations are very important to your overall eye health. Many vision problems do not show any signs or symptoms, so it is important to have a vision test done on a regular basis. Early diagnosis and treatment of your eyes can help prevent vision loss in the future.
Each patient’s signs and symptoms will determine what type of test should be conducted. A comprehensive adult vision examination includes many different parts. Some of these include patient history. We will ask about previous vision appointments that you have gone to and the results . We need to know about the history of your eyes and if you have had any problems in the past.
Then, we will measure visual acuity. The purpose of this is to see how accurate each eye can see. This includes reading charts at a far distance and at a near distance. Preliminary tests are sometimes performed to evaluate depth perception, color vision, eye-muscle movement, peripheral and side vision, and also how your eyes react to light. Finally, we may do an eye health evaluation. This will either confirm or rule out any issues with your vision.
Our friendly and helpful staff will work with you regardless of your symptoms, or lack thereof, to ensure that all of your needs are met.
If you have any questions regarding vision exams, contact us today at (209) 486-2686.

Computer Vision
Here at Visionary Optometry of Modesto, we are dedicated to helping patients with computer vision syndrome.
Computer vision syndrome is relatively new. It refers to eye problems associated with the prolonged use of computers and electronics that use a digital screen. Although it can be temporary, there are times when it can strain your eyes to a degree that permanently affects your vision.
If you suffer from an existing eye condition, it can worsen your computer vision syndrome. This is because it can be difficult for your eyes to focus on the computer screen. One of these conditions is astigmatism. Even though they suffer from this condition, many people feel normal until they sit in front of a computer.
Precautions should be taken if you spend long hours in front of a computer screen. Proper lighting and posture can make a difference. You might also want to adjust your screen’s resolution and check the brightness and contrast. A few simple changes like these can help to ease the tension in your eyes. You should also take breaks if you are going to spend a few hours in front of your computer.
Some signs of computer vision syndrome include blurry vision, dry eyes, eye strain, headaches, and neck or back pain. At first, you should try adjusting the lighting, your posture, and the distance between you and the front of your computer screen. However, if you continue to experience symptoms, you should have an eye examination.
After your examination, we will be able to discuss the best method for treating your digital eye strain so it does not become an ongoing issue and lead to a bigger problem. There are specially made glasses for people who spend hours in front of the computer, so that might be an option for you.
If you have any questions about computer vision syndrome, don’t hesitate to contact us today at (209) 486-2686.
Hard To Fit Contact Lenses
Do you find wearing contact lenses impossible? Are your regular contacts painful or constantly uncomfortable? You are not alone. Due to a variety of factors such as individual eye shape, specific conditions, impairments, or the aftermath of surgery, some patients are considered to have more difficulty wearing contacts than others.

LASIK Co-Management
LASIK stands for laser in-situ keratomileusis and is a popular surgery to correct vision problems. LASIK can help people who are nearsighted or farsighted, as well those who have astigmatism.
LASIK works by reshaping the cornea with a laser, which allows light to be correctly focused onto the retina. A laser is used to create a small flap in the cornea, which is peeled back so another laser can reshape the cornea. The flap is then placed back and the surgery is complete.

Sunglasses
Sunglasses are designed to protect your eyes from sunlight. While all tinted lenses help to protect your eyes from sunlight, some will protect your eyes better than others. Sunglasses with lenses that block ultraviolet sunlight are the best option. Although sunglasses can be expensive, there are many affordable brands that provide great protection from harmful sunlight as well. If you are interested in finding the best brand of sunglasses for your lifestyle, we can help you find them.
