Whether it’s your first exam in years or a routine annual check-up, you’ll receive personalized, surgeon-led care from one of South Florida’s most trusted ophthalmologists.

Why Are Comprehensive Eye Exams Important?

Your eyes can reveal a lot about your overall health. In fact, many serious conditions—such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and even diabetes—can be detected through a detailed eye exam long before symptoms appear.

A comprehensive eye exam is essential to:

• Monitor vision changes over time

• Update prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses

• Detect early signs of eye diseases

• Evaluate eye alignment, focus, and movement

• Assess overall ocular health and function

Annual exams are especially important for those over 40, those with chronic health conditions, or anyone with a family history of eye disease.

What to Expect During Your Eye Exam

At West Boca Eye Center, Dr. Bellotte performs in-depth exams using state-of-the-art imaging and diagnostic tools. Your exam may include:

Visual Acuity Testing

Measures how clearly you can see letters or symbols at various distances, helping determine your need for glasses or contact lenses.

Refraction Assessment

Identifies the best lens prescription for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.

Eye Pressure Testing (Tonometry)

Used to screen for glaucoma by measuring intraocular pressure (IOP).

Slit-Lamp Examination

A high-magnification evaluation of the front structures of your eye, including the cornea, iris, and lens.

Retinal Imaging

Advanced imaging to view the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels—helping detect macular degeneration, diabetic eye changes, and other retinal conditions.

Dilated Eye Exam

Eye drops may be used to widen the pupils, allowing Dr. Bellotte to examine the internal structures of the eye more thoroughly.

Advanced Diagnostics Available

For patients at higher risk of eye disease or those with complex vision concerns, Dr. Bellotte may recommend additional tests such as:

• OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) – 3D imaging of the retina and optic nerve

• Visual Field Testing – Evaluates peripheral vision, critical for glaucoma screening

• Corneal Topography – Maps the surface of the cornea to detect irregularities or keratoconus

• Meibography – Assesses oil glands for dry eye diagnosis

These technologies allow for early detection and more personalized treatment planning.

Who Should Get a Comprehensive Eye Exam?

Eye exams are essential for all ages. Dr. Bellotte recommends:

• Children & Teens: Baseline exams to support learning and development

• Adults Under 40: Every 2–3 years, or sooner if you wear glasses or contacts

• Adults Over 40: Annually, especially for early detection of age-related eye conditions

• Seniors 60+: Annual exams to monitor for cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal issues

• Diabetics: At least once per year for diabetic retinopathy screening

If you experience sudden vision changes, eye pain, floaters, or flashes of light, schedule an exam immediately.
