Comprehensive Eye Exams
Annual comprehensive eye exams are an important part of caring for your overall health. At Kind Eyes not only do we evaluate your eyeglass prescription for optimal vision, but Dr. Bhatt also evaluates your eye health which can be key for early detection of important ocular and general health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, thyroid issues, glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, retinal detachment and much much more. Early detection can lead to early treatment, management and prevention of progression in many cases.
Your Comprehensive Eye Exam at Kind Eyes will include an eyeglass prescription check in addition to an ocular surface and internal eye health evaluation. Dr. Bhatt will assess your focusing skills which includes assessment of your accommodation, eye muscles and pupil reactivity. She will evaluate the structures around your eye as well as in your eye such as the optic nerve. We perform a ”no puff” eye pressure check and additional supplemental testing is performed when necessary.

Contact Lens Exams
Dr. Bhatt performs contact lens fittings for a variety of lens and lifestyle options. Whether you have worn contacts before or are a first time contact lens patient, Dr. Bhatt works with each patient making sure their contact lenses are optimal for their eye health and ocular demands.
Contact lenses we fit:
- Toric Lenses
- Multifocal lenses
- Daily disposable lenses
- Colored Contact lenses
- 2 week replacement lenses
- Monthly replacement lenses
Retinal Exams
Dilated eye examinations are performed routinely at Kind Eyes. This is where Dr. Bhatt can evaluate your optic nerve, macula, and retina. This part of the eye exam is performed by using a routine eye drop that temporarily dilates your pupils so that she can see inside the eye without the pupil contracting. This can tell us a lot of information about eye health such as conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, but also about general health like diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Myopia Management
Dr. Bhatt also specializes in myopia (near-sightedness) management as well. If your child’s prescriptions begin to increase at a more rapid rate, there is a way to potentially slow down the progression by way of contact lenses or eye drops. Slowing down the progression of near-sightedness is not only nice because the eyeglasses may be lighter and thinner, but because higher nearsighted patients are more at risk for eye related health concerns such as retinal detachment, damage, glaucoma, etc. Call to make an appointment today for your child or book online!
