What to expect at your Video Assisted Eye Exam

Patient intake information & Pretesting

The on-site office technician will record your basic information, ocular, and medical health history. Next, in the pretesting area, the technician will capture patient information about your current prescription, corneal measurements, eye pressure, images and videos of your eyes. The results of these tests are stored in a secure server for your optometrist’s review.

High-definition video conferencing with remote technician

Next, the office technician will escort you to the optical exam room. Your technician will notify a remote technician that you are ready for preliminary eye refraction. The remote technician will record any eye complaints for the optometrist to review as part of the optometrist’s eye exam.

Then, your optometrist will appear on the screen ready to communicate with you in real time, answer your questions, and learn about your vision concerns. Your optometrist will have remote control of the phoropter to refine preliminary prescription data, access all your ocular health information, and finalize your eye prescription.

At the conclusion of your exam, the optometrist will advise you of the early detection of health issues, if any, and deliver an accurate vision prescription to you.

Love my glasses, this is the 4th pair I've gotten through them and I'm still happy every time. Every... visit is short and painless, and I've never had anything go wrong. It's nice being able to see clearly 🙂 I read through some of the 1-star reviews here and they really don't make much sense, nothing anyone complained about is worth a 1-star review. This is an eyecare business, but some people are reviewing it like it's a restaurant 🤦

I had a wonderful experience at ABBA Eye Care during my first visit. The facility was clean, and the... staff were all friendly and helpful. Everyone had an inviting smile that made me feel welcome. Dr. Garwood was very kind, explained everything thoroughly, and made me feel at ease, confident that I was receiving the best care. It’s clear that everyone works in a friendly, happy, and content environment, which truly shows in the way patients are treated. I was so impressed that I immediately scheduled appointments for my family. Keep it up, and thank you for welcoming me to your wonderful facility!

I have nothing but great things to say about this location and the staff! I have been coming here fo... r a few years, as well as my fiancé. While this was the first year, I needed glasses myself, this was my fiancés 2nd time getting them from this location. We shopped around their glasses for about an hour after our appt and sat down with a gal who finished our purchase. We got a call 2 weeks later that our glasses were in and it was discovered by the assistant manager through our conversation that both our lenses were ordered incorrectly. He immediately stated that he was going to get them both fixed and went through the whole process again of measuring and all of that. He stated that he was really sorry but had a solution to fix them right away. WOW- you don't get that everywhere, and we were both very appreciative! Since they were my first pair ever, I thought the glaring lights in the lenses was something to get used to- no, it's because the anti-glare wasn't ordered like we were told. I am truly grateful for this recognition and quick fix. I then decided my frames weren't the right fit for me, and without hesitation, I was able to exchange them. I can't thank you ALL enough for helping us, I truly absolutely love my new frames that I picked up yesterday and got 2 compliments from strangers on them already 🙂 I cannot remember the assistant managers name (sorry) but him and the other gentleman who sits next to him Thomas are TOP NOTCH! Thanks again, so much.
