Adult Eye Exams
The doctors at Alpharetta Eye Clinic and Windward Eye Care recommend that adults have a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years. There are several factors that affect this recommendation:
- Age
- Risk factors
- Current eye conditions
Pediatric Eye Exam
- Pediatric eye exams can be scheduled at 6 months. Many eye conditions are genetic, so it’s important to have trained family optometrist to follow your child’s vision and eye health.
- School-age children need regular eye exams as vision problems may interfere with learning.
Cataract Surgery
Cataracts are age-related:
There are several symptoms of cataracts:
- Blurred vision
- Foggy/cloudy vision
- Seeing halos around lights
- Vision loss
The doctors at Alpharetta Eye Clinic and Windward Eye Care diagnose cataracts and co-manage the surgery and follow-up.
Lasik Eye Surgery
LASIK surgery has been effective in treating myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and other eye conditions. Once our doctors have performed the evaluation and determined whether you are a candidate for LASIK, you will be given a referral to one of our LASIK partners. The surgery center will perform advanced diagnostic testing and will evaluate your eligibility for surgery. Various surgery options will be discussed with you if you are determined to be a surgical candidate. We will be in correspondence with the center regarding your evaluation and surgical determination.
Once your surgery is scheduled, we will schedule follow-up appointments for you. Typically, you will begin these follow-ups the day after the surgery and continue at prearranged times over the following six months. After 1 year, a full exam is recommended to determine the long-term results of your procedure.

Special Eye Testing
Our optometrists use advanced diagnostic tests used to evaluate not just how well you see, but the overall health and function of your eyes. These tests go far beyond the basic “read the chart” exam and help detect early signs of diseases like glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes‑related eye changes, and more.
Tests Include:
- Vision & Refraction Tests – Measures how clearly you see at distance (e.g., 20/20 vision).
- Eye Muscle & Coordination Tests – These evaluate how well your eyes work together.
- Eye Health & Disease Detection Tests
- Specialized Functional Tests – These detect specific visual problems.
- Advanced Medical Imaging
