What Our Patients Have to Say....

This is a wonderful place to go for your glasses.

My whole family has been visiting Natomas Optometry since they were in their old building. This is a wonderful place to go for your glasses. Yes, they have designer glasses that are quite expensive but they are more than willing to give you your prescription to go elsewhere for frames if you choose to do so. They are always available for adjustments, to fix your nose pieces, and to help you fix any damage you might get to your glasses.

- Timothy H.

I would say best optometrist experience I’ve ever had.

The office is very nice. Staff as well. The optometrist and I had a discussion about my recent diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, where he patiently explained, from an eye health perspective, what to watch out for and how often a checkup is recommended. A large selection of frames, and the staff was patient with selection and evaluation, with no pressure or corralling me to the more expensive frames. I would say best optometrist experience I've ever had.

I am very happy!

Had good exam and received my glasses in short order. When they arrived they did a quality check and were not satisfied and had them fixed. I didn't have to be the bad guy, they did it till they were happy. That made me happy. Thanks!

Q&A with Dr. Nakamura | Why are Comprehensive Eye Exam Important?

Which tests are included in a Comprehensive Eye Exam?

A comprehensive eye exam includes a number of tests and procedures to examine and evaluate the health of your eyes and the quality of your vision. These tests range from simple ones, like having you read an eye chart, to complex tests, such as using a high-powered lens to examine the health of the tissues inside of your eyes.

How often do I need one?

The AOA also recommends an annual eye exam for any adult who wears eyeglasses or contacts. If you don't normally need vision correction, you still need an eye exam every two to three years up to the age of 40, depending on your rate of visual change and overall health. Doctors often recommend more frequent examinations for adults with diabetes, high blood pressure and other disorders, because many diseases can have an impact on vision and eye health.

If you are over 40, it's a good idea to have your eyes examined every one to two years to check for common age-related eye problems such as presbyopia, cataracts and macular degeneration. Read more about Vision After 40.

What should I expect during my exam?

For regularly scheduled eye exams, expect to talk about any changes in your medical history since the last time you saw your eye doctor. And if this is your first time in a new practice, you’ll be asked to provide a more complete medical history, including a list of medications you’re currently taking, and any vision problems your parents may have experienced.
