Book AppointmentHow Often Do I Need an Eye Exam?
The American Optometric Association recommends that low-risk patients follow these guidelines at a minimum:
- Adults ages 18 and up should have an eye exam yearly.
Patients with diabetes, high myopia, or other vision conditions should have more frequent examinations. We will work with you and your unique needs to determine the best exam schedule for your eyes.
Book your appointment today to keep on track with your eye health.
Book AppointmentWhat Happens During an Eye Exam?
When you first walk into our practice, you’ll be greeted by our friendly team. If you’re a new patient, we’ll ask some questions about your health history, lifestyle, and current medications. We’ll discuss your family history, give you time to ask questions, and address any concerns.
Comprehensive eye exams are more than just a vision test. Our questions about your health and family history are designed to help us assess your risk factors for eye diseases or other vision conditions.
During the exam, we will carefully and thoroughly evaluate both the internal and external structures of the eye using modern technology. We will measure your visual acuity to determine whether you need corrective lenses, or if your prescription is up-to-date if you already have them.
We may also assess your color vision, how well the eyes work as a team, depth perception, and the way your pupils respond to light.
Book Your Appointment Today
Even if you think you have perfect vision, it’s still essential to have regular eye exams. Eye diseases can begin with few to no symptoms, so a comprehensive exam remains the best way to assess any early signs of eye disease.
Preserve your sight for years to come by booking a comprehensive eye exam today for every member of your family.

Your eyes are important and of course, seeing is believing. Dr. Ben Larson is caring and his team has the latest in advanced technology to make sure your eyes get the very best technology has to offer. We only get one pair of eyes, so only the best will do for me and you should feel the same way. Because of Dr. Larson’s long tenure as a doctor, he can spot and see things in your eyes some doctors miss.

Been coming here two years. Never waited to see a specialist or doctor for more than 7minutes. The team is prompt, responsive, accurate and most of all they work together to get you out of there fast and efficiently. You would never have to question this doctors or it’s staffs integrity. Definitely recommend.

Dr Ben Larson he is absolutely amazing! He is a complete perfectionist when it comes to your vision. He is also charming and knowledgeable about all aspects of eye care. Everyone in the entire office is always kind, patient and helpful. Dr. Larson saved my ski trip this year because thanks to him, I was able to read the signs on the mountains because of my Ortho K contacts. I didn’t have to wear glasses or contacts in the cold weather which was wonderful. Dr. Larson and Ortho K are the perfect combination for an active lifestyle! they have every means of advanced testing for your vision. I would highly recommend Advanced Eye Care to anyone who is looking for the best in eye care.

Dr Christy Larson is wonderful! She is thorough and makes sure to carefully explain everything. I appreciate the care and attention I receive during each visit. The staff here is always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Advanced Eye Care if you are looking for exceptional service and high quality care for your eyes.

Dr. Ben Larson and his staff were simply wonderful to me, on several occasions. I was dealing with a scratched cornea – which happened several times – and the entire team was compassionate and understanding. Dr. Ben gave me excellent care and helped me understand what was happening at every stage. After the last time, he discussed with me the underlying issues and is working with me to address those problems to avoid the pain of a scratched cornea again. I recommend him to everyone for eye care. And, the rest of his team is kind, cheerful, and really delightful!

I recently moved from London, England and was looking for an eye doctor. I have Keratoconus also called Conical Cornea and haven’t been able to see clearly for years. My first scleral lenses were fitted in London and did not seem to improve my vision plus were also very uncomfortable. My doctor in London was now recommending cornea transplant which made me very nervous and I was not excited about the idea of going under the knife.
I had almost lost all hope and faith in scleral lenses until I met Dr Ben Larson. Dr Larson is highly experienced and knowledgeable. From the start, he was patient and took the time to get the correct prescription. His care changed my life. Such a great experience and I am very impressed with my results in a way I never thought was possible. I highly recommend Dr Larson and Advanced Eye Care to anyone with Keratoconus or any other eye problems. Brought me tears of joy, thank you Dr Larson!

I have been going to Advanced EyeCare for 15+ years and they never cease to exceed expectations. All of the doctors and staff are friendly, professional, and treat you like you’re family. Dr. Ben and Dr. Christy truly take the time to get to know you and answer any questions you have. Also, if you need glasses, their team is the best! They make the process incredibly fun and won’t let you leave without loving your frames. Highly recommend this office and refuse to go anywhere else for my eyes!

Dr Larson and his staff especially Sam are fantastic. My 8 year old is a patient and they have helped his eye site tremendously. I can’t imagine why anyone would ever give them less than a 5 Star Review. They defiantly care about their patients a lot more than most offices we have tried.
Mark Pegan
Val reports Dr. Christy remains the very best in her field, extremely knowledgeable, and caring. Her staff starting with Heather at the front desk is able to greet multiple clients at the front desk, provide professional assistance with check in and smiles! Sam is amazing with his talent to engage clients and does an in-depth history with ease. His skill taking scans of the eye was very evident and was doe in a timely manner. Erica was was such an asset at the end of the appointment and is willing to clarify all information for follow up care. Their team was so very patient, kind, and knowledgeable when explaining how my glasses would work with my computer when looking at the screen for long periods of time. They also responded to all my questions especially showing me how to scan this review on my cell phone! I was thankful for those on the team I met yesterday! Also love the live access on the website where a person responded on the weekend. Wanted to end on saying First Class Team and environment. Thanks Dr. Christy!

This was by far the most thorough eye exam and nicest staff I have ever worked with. I was blown away by the office which is beautiful and pristine. I felt listened to and not judged for any issues. I will be coming back here for years to come.

My first time here for eye exam. I have been served on time – without any delay. Before I come needed to reschedule 3 times due to work, they were very open and helpful to find a time slot fits my availability. Sam was very knowledgeable and nice to talk with. They have wide selection of glasses – but don’t compare it to the big stores!. Overall, my experience was positive.
Derar (Reviewer)
Needed a repair to my Silhouette frame while visiting from out of town. They had the needed part in the right size and color in stock! They gave me a complete description of my options and the price before the work was done. Excellent, quick service while I waited. Highly recommended from my experience!
Jean Collins
Dr. Ben fitted me for Ortho K. He got the prescription perfect. Saw 20/20 the first day following sleeping in the corrective lenses. We were completely informed as to what we might expect and how the lenses would work as well as what maintenance was required. The staff was extremely professional and courteous. The office was extremely clean and beautiful, and they took every possible precaution with Covid to ensure our safety as well as the safety of their other clients and staff. Advanced Eye Care is the best of the best!!!
