Comprehensive Eye Exams in Albany, Saratoga & Schenectady, NY

Why Schedule an Eye Exam?

Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with an eye condition? Does your family have a history of eye disease? Were your children born prematurely? Or maybe you simply want reassurance that your vision and eye health are in good condition. Whatever the reason, a comprehensive eye exam is one of the best ways to protect and preserve your sight.

Regular eye exams are important even if you’re not experiencing vision problems. Many eye conditions develop slowly and without obvious symptoms, but a thorough exam can detect issues early—before they impact your vision. Early detection leads to more effective treatment and long-term protection for your eyesight.

At our practice, Dr. Mabel Cheng, MD, and Dr. Nicole Lemanski, MD, provide advanced eye care for patients in Albany, Schenectady, and Saratoga Springs, NY.

What to Expect During an Eye Exam

Our eye exams are designed to be comprehensive, detailed, and patient-focused. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we can identify vision changes and detect early signs of eye disease.

Here’s what a typical exam may include:

Refraction Testing: Using advanced wavefront refraction and corneal topography to create highly accurate prescriptions and screen for conditions like keratoconus.
Medical & Vision History: Our staff reviews your medications and health background to check for hereditary or medication-related risks.
Eye Pressure Testing: To assess your risk for glaucoma and other conditions.
Dilation: Drops are used to widen your pupils so your doctor can examine the back of your eye in detail. While waiting, patients can view educational modules to learn more about eye health.
Imaging & Photography: High-resolution photos of your retina may be taken for baseline comparison at future visits.

If any issues are found, our ophthalmologists will explain the findings clearly, recommend treatment, and schedule further tests if needed.

Why Eye Exams Are Essential?

Your eyes are not only vital for vision—they can also reveal clues about your overall health. During an eye exam, doctors can detect eye-specific problems such as:

Glaucoma
Macular degeneration
Cataracts
Keratoconus

But eye exams may also uncover signs of systemic health issues, including:

Diabetes
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Lupus
Rheumatoid arthritis

Catching these conditions early helps protect both your eye health and general wellness.
