A more thoughtful eye exam
A great eye exam should do more than update a prescription. At Tatum Eyecare, comprehensive exams are scheduled with time to understand how you use your vision, evaluate eye health and explain the findings in plain language.
We use advanced diagnostic equipment when it adds useful clinical information—not because a machine needs its own page on the website. Our technology includes Optos retinal imaging, Topcon Maestro 3D OCT retinal scanning and Haag-Streit visual field testing. The goal is accurate information, an unhurried conversation and a plan that makes sense for you.
Vision + prescription
We evaluate how your eyes focus and work together, then refine the prescription around the way you actually use your eyes.
Eye health
Your exam includes an evaluation of the structures of the eye, with additional diagnostic testing when the findings call for a closer look.
Technology with a purpose
Optos retinal imaging, Topcon Maestro 3D OCT and Haag-Streit visual field testing give our doctors additional information when it is clinically useful.

Good questions deserve clear answers.
What should I bring to my eye exam?
Bring the glasses and sunglasses you use most, your current contact lens information if you wear contacts, a medication list when relevant, and your current vision and medical insurance cards.
Is an eye exam only about my prescription?
No. The prescription is one part of a comprehensive exam. Your doctor also evaluates the health of your eyes and may recommend additional imaging or testing when it would add useful information.
What if I also want contact lenses?
Let us know when you schedule so we can allow for the contact lens evaluation and make sure the appointment type matches what you need.
