Are you over 35? Have you made it this far without seeing an eye doctor? You likely need a baseline eye exam!
At PureSight Surgical, Dr. Jordan Stanley provides comprehensive care that goes beyond what typical “vision plans” cover. Traditional vision exams at other clinics often focus solely on updating your glasses or contact lens prescription, with diagnostic imaging for medical conditions requiring additional fees under medical insurance plans. This means that checking for a glasses update typically costs an extra $45-75.
Our annual wellness exam combines the best of both worlds: your updated prescription is included without extra fees, and advanced diagnostic imaging is performed to thoroughly assess and ensure optimal eye health. With Dr. Stanley, you receive a complete approach to your vision and eye care in one visit.
Dr. Stanley is a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained glaucoma specialist. As the founder of PureSight Surgical in Marietta, GA, Dr. Stanley is committed to offering excellence in care for cataract surgery, ICL refractive surgery, glaucoma management, and medical eye exams with transparent fee-for-service pricing available for those without insurance. He is also in network with Medicare and many private insurance plans including Blue Cross and United.
Why do I need an annual eye exam?
Many eye conditions develop without noticeable symptoms. Regular eye exams are the only way to detect and prevent diseases that could lead to vision loss. Further, eye exams can sometimes help diagnose underlying systemic health conditions, like diabetes, lupus, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol.
Because your eyes are important, take care of your eye health in advance and protect your vision for a lifetime.
Unlike routine vision exams offered elsewhere, our board-certified ophthalmologist provides additional diagnostic imaging not typically available at other clinics. We go beyond checking your prescription; we look deeper into your eye health and examine every aspect that affects your vision.
What to Expect During Your Exam
- Medical history review to discuss your general health, family history, and any vision concerns you have
- Visual acuity test to assess how well you see at various distances
- Advanced diagnostic imaging to examine the internal structures of your eyes
- Eye pressure measurement to screen for glaucoma and establish your baseline
- Personalized consultation with Dr. Stanley to learn about any issues or recommendations he has based on your exam
Comfortable appointment times
At our local, doctor-run clinic, you’ll receive personalized care from Dr. Jordan Stanley, an experienced ophthalmologist dedicated to your eye health. Dr. Stanley takes the time to understand your unique needs, rather than rushing to complete your appointment in order to get to the next patient. As the founder of PureSight Surgical, it is important to him to limit his appointment slots so that he genuinely has the time to provide absolutely excellent care.
He’ll listen to you and ensure treatment recommendations are tailored to your needs, and that you understand everything about your eye health—all in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
We believe in clear communication; while we accept insurance, including Medicare, BlueCross, and United, we also offer transparent self-pay pricing for all our services as an option. We believe this is the best way for patients to know exactly what to expect, with no hidden fees or surprise bills.
At PureSight Surgical, we provide transparent pricing and personalized care to save you both time and money. For patients who are un- or under-insured, this empowers you to understand what your care costs and avoid unexpected fees and charges.
Good Candidates for Eye Wellness Exams
Dr. Stanley’s Annual Eye Wellness Exams are catered to patients who are over 35 and haven’t seen an eye doctor in years, or maybe ever. Because anyone can develop “silent” conditions over time, it is important to receive rigorous annual exams, no matter your health status. And, if you are experiencing slight changes in your vision or eye health, Dr. Stanley can look into these during your appointment.
Dr. Stanley also works with patients who have chronic conditions or underlying issues that require extra attention to the eyes; we call these Medical Eye Exams. We serve all adult patients!
