Your Vision. Your Future.

Is your child having a hard time seeing the board in class?

Do you struggle to read fine-print in books and menus?

Regular comprehensive eye exams involve a series of tests that enable your Chelmsford eye doctor to check your eye health and vision. This type of eye exam can only be performed by an eye doctor, and shouldn’t be confused with the vision screenings given in schools or other non-professional settings.

Having regular comprehensive eye exams is crucial when it comes to protecting your eyes from sight-threatening diseases, and ensuring that your optical prescription is up-to-date.

A comprehensive eye exam can also reveal signs of a general health condition like diabetes, hypertension or high cholesterol.

Why Is It Important to Get Your Eyes Tested Regularly?

Comprehensive eye exams are an important part of maintaining great vision and eye health for the entire family.

During your eye exam, your eye doctor will check for any refractive errors or visual skill deficiencies that may hinder development or learning, and diagnose, manage, and treat eye diseases and conditions, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration that can cause severe vision loss in adults.

Many of these sight-robbing conditions show little to no symptoms until they’ve already caused learning difficulties, significant damage to the eye, and/or irreversible vision loss. Routine eye exams ensure early diagnosis and treatment of these and other conditions.

What to Expect From Your Eye Exam

  • Glasses/contact lens prescription updates

    We'll provide you with an updated prescription so that you can see clearly. Some people require a new prescription every year, whereas others only need a new prescription every 2-3 years.

  • Evaluating your child’s vision for learning

    Conditions such as strabismus and amblyopia, and visual skill deficiencies such as convergence insufficiency can negatively impact your child’s learning.

  • Diagnosis & treatment of eye diseases

    Eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy may show no symptoms until it’s too late. The earlier the treatment, the more effective the outcome.

  • Rule out signs of systemic diseases

    Common systemic diseases such as diabetes and stroke can first be detected in the eyes as part of a comprehensive eye exam.

Dr. Bejian is a treat for your eyes! I had my first exam, with her, yesterday. Dr. Bejian is highly ... qualified, thorough and has great Doctor-Patient communication skills. She uses state of the art technology to chart your eyes and she reviews and explains all health aspects with you. You will be more informed about your eyes, than you imagined possible. I felt I was well taken care of, during the testing and exam process. The office is Beautiful! The entire staff worked as a team, from my first phone call.

I ALWAYS feel like I am in good hands here. Dr. Bejian has always gone above and beyond to ensure my... eyes are taken care of, from any preventative care to giving me samples of new contacts to try that have better technology than my current ones. Julie is a fantastic admin who is on top of everything. She spent so much time on the phone helping me to update my prescription order, and emailed me prompty with the relevant paperwork. Really wonderful practice all around

Dr. Florence Bejian is very professional, knowledgeable, and equally personable. There is a calm and... relaxing office atmosphere that takes away any stress associated with eye examinations, testing, and related health discussion. Over many, many years, Dr. Bejian has shown to be consistent in her care and thorough eye health care approach, remaining current in the field and an active participant. Simply a great health care experience.

I've been seeing Dr. Bejian since I was a child, and have never had any issues or complaints. The o... ffice is tidy and comfortable, and the wait is never more than a few minutes. The staff is kind, efficient, helpful, and prompt. Dr. Bejian is not only a highly intelligent, wonderful, & knowledgeable clinician, but also a lovely, warm, and caring person. She spends as much time with you as you need (no matter how many questions you have!), and is incredibly thorough in her exam and treatment. I have seen other doctors in her office as well, and I highly recommend her or any of them--they're all fantastic!

I have been a patient of Dr. Bejian's for over 25 years. During each comprehensive eye exam that I ... have had by her, she thoroughly explains the results and the care appropriate for my eyes. More than ample time is always allowed for my appointments. I have complete trust in her as the primary caregiver of my eyes..

Dr. Bejian not only a highly skilled and competent optometrist, she is a genuinely caring and kind p... rofessional. Staff at Village Eye Associates always make you feel as if you are the only patient!

I have had a few unusual eye problems and she has always been there for me and able to fix the probl... ems. She does not rush you and wants you to be satisfied and always follows up.

I've been going to Dr. Bejian for 20+ years and I can't imagine going anywhere else. She does an exc... ellent job; I know my eyes are in good hands. I recently had PRK Lasik eye surgery (at a place recommended by Dr. Bejian), and have been going to Dr. Bejian for all of the many follow-up visits. I'm pleased with that experience as well.
- Oct. 04, 2016
Dr. Bejian is very thorough! I would recommend her in a heart-beat. Her staff is very good...every... one I've interacted with there has been super nice and helpful.
- Oct. 03, 2016
My experience with Dr. Bejian has been wonderful. She is a doctor who truly cares about each of her... patients and takes the time to talk with them and explain what is going on with their eye prescription and health - something you don't experience often these days in Dr.'s offices. She'll also make sure her patients know what's the latest in contact and eyeglass lenses. She is an experienced Optometrist, and I am confident in her skills. The staff in her office is also friendly, and very helpful when scheduling appointments. I highly recommend Village Eye.
- Oct. 02, 2016
Excellent all around - I have been seeing Dr. Bejian for 18 years and though I have complicated eye ... issues I have gotten comprehensive care with good coordination with specialists. Dr Bejian and her staff follow through on the smallest of details and I always feel very cared for and in the best of hands. All three of my kids are in contact lenses and she always knows the latest and most healthy options to offer them. And Stan and his optical shop are the best too!

If you need a one stop eye care provider who listens to you and takes the time to provide you with e... xcellent care, this is the place. The standards are high and customer service is still alive at Village Eye Associates with both the Physician and the Optician staff! I have never felt like "just a number" here for the 10 years I have been a patient. I have been very happy with the service provided.

Enjoyable staff, efficient appointments, and easy online ordering of contacts!

Dr. Bejian is so thorough, knowledgeable and experienced. In addition, she is one of my favorite pe... ople, even though I only see her once a year for my checkups. Everyone in the office is friendly, and I love my new contacts and my new glasses. My family and I have been going to her for eye care since she first came to Chelmsford, about 1989 or so.

Comprehensive Eye Exams FAQs

Is a comprehensive eye exam the same as a vision screening?

No. Vision screenings like the one performed for children in school or at optical-only stores only check for 20/20 vision. They do not check for the presence of sight-threatening eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration or cataracts. They also do not check for visual skill deficiencies such as problems with visual tracking or processing. Comprehensive eye exams are more thorough and use advanced equipment to evaluate your vision and eye health.

How often should I get an eye exam?

Eye doctors usually recommend that you come in for a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year. This ensures that your glasses or contact lens prescription stays up to date and that signs and symptoms of developing eye conditions are caught early before they cause lasting damage.

When should I bring my child in for their first comprehensive eye exam?

A child’s first eye exam should take place at age 6 months. It’s important not to delay eye exams for young infants and children as some early eye problems can affect vision for life. Detecting vision problems early can keep a minor issue from becoming something serious (and more challenging to treat).
