Your Eye Exam Specialists in Centreville, VA


A comprehensive eye exam will not only provide the right prescription for your vision; it can also pick up on underlying conditions and diseases that would not otherwise have been discovered.

It’s important to distinguish between a typical vision screening and a complete eye exam. A vision screening can be performed by anyone from your school nurse to the Department of Motor Vehicles.

The optometrists at Centreville Eye Care Center may perform the following tests while examining your eyes:

  • An autorefractor is used to assess how images are focused on your retina.
  • A cover test, during which your optometrist will have you focus on distant objects and then cover each eye, checking for misalignments and amblyopia (“lazy eye”).
