Our eye doctors have the means to diagnose, treat, and manage a wide variety of eye problems so your eyes stay healthy and functional as long as possible. Ready to book your next eye exam?

When Should You Have Eye Exams?
According to the American Optometric Association, adults should have eye exams:
- Annually between the ages of 18 and 64.
- At least once a year after the age of 65.
Total Vision Tierrasanta also recommends eye exams anytime you have concerns about your eye health or vision. Seeing you more often gives us more opportunities to monitor your eyes for potential issues and respond quickly.
If you have specific eye problems that require extra attention, we might recommend more frequent eye exams than suggested above. We’ll let you know, though, so you can make informed decisions about your care.
What Happens During the Eye Exam?
An eye exam usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. If we plan on running any tests that could take extra time, we’ll tell you in advance so you can plan ahead. If you have questions before the exam, just contact us and let someone on our team answer them. We may begin your exam by asking about your medical history, family history, or any medications you use. If you already wear corrective lenses, we’ll also measure your prescription to see if it’s changed. Then you can talk to us about any concerns you have before we start running tests.
All eye exams include tests to measure:
We’ll also check the health of your:
- Eyelids
- Cornea
- Lens
- Iris
- Retina
- Optic nerve
Additional testing may include:
