Outdated frames can look drab and dull, and if you’re going to wear glasses, you deserve the “wow-factor” that lights up every room. Our team at Bixby Eye Center will provide you with a personalized face shape/color analysis and lifestyle questionnaire to suggest the perfect eyewear match for you, helping you feel comfortable and confident in your look.

🚫👓 Eye Care Myth BUSTED!

Visual idea:
Bold graphic or photo with text:
“Myth: If I can see fine, I don’t need an eye exam.”

Caption copy:
❌ MYTH: If you can see clearly, you don’t need an eye exam.
✅ FACT: Many eye conditions don’t affect your vision right away. A comprehensive eye exam checks the health of your eyes — not just how well you see.

Even patients with “perfect” vision should still have routine eye exams to catch problems early.

📅 Not sure when your last exam was? We can help!

👁️ Eye Dilation: Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you dilate eyes?
Dilation allows our doctors to get a wide, clear view of the inside of your eye—especially the retina and optic nerve. This helps detect early signs of eye disease, diabetes-related changes, retinal issues, and other conditions that may not cause symptoms right away.

Do you dilate at every annual exam?
Not typically. At Bixby Eye Center, dilation is not routinely done at annual exams unless you are age 60 or older, or if the doctor feels it is medically necessary based on your eye health, symptoms, or medical history.

What happens when my eyes are dilated?
You may experience blurry near vision and light sensitivity. These effects usually last about 4–6 hours, though this can vary from person to person.

Why can’t dilation always be done the same day?
Most routine vision insurance plans do not allow a dilated exam to be performed on the same day as a medical eye exam, which may require scheduling dilation on a separate visit.

Is dilation really necessary?
When recommended, yes. While it may be inconvenient, dilation is one of the most important tools we have to thoroughly evaluate eye health and protect your vision long-term.

For more than three decades, Dr. Bixby has been providing quality eye care to local residents. Dr. Bixby specializes in even the most difficult and hard to fit contact lenses. Since 2016, Dr. Bixby has been joined by three experienced optometrists: Dr. Lasken, Dr. Jensen, and Dr. Kern. With these additions we have been able to better serve our patients in all areas, especially in the care and management of eye disease. We also specialize in children’s vision and visual training to ensure best vision for a lifetime. Our commitment is not just in meeting your expectations, but in exceeding them!
