Individuality - It's not a word you hear everyday. Yet it's always on our minds. We know because we help people achieve it. Here at Plains Optical, our style is to help you find your style... and build upon it. We do this by carrying eyewear you don't see everywhere else. We have experienced professionals who want to get to know your style before recommending any eyewear in our store. Your eyewear investment is too important for the mass-produced, one-size-fits-most, one hour, pre-packaged world we live in. Stop in today. We'll help you build an eyewear wardrobe for you... and only you.

About Your Comprehensive Examination
We know it is important to be thorough. That's why we offer a comprehensive eye examination that will uncover hidden, symptomless, potentially sight-threatening eye disorders and diseases that are not found by a simple vision screening. Your examination will include:

A Medical History
Since the eyes are a part of the body, they can be affected by seemingly unrelated health conditions. We must know about your general health and your medication, including non-prescription medication, prior to treatment.

Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Roten are therapeutic optometrists, which means that they are qualified to
provide medical treatment for infections,
injuries, conjunctivitis (pink eye),
and other health concerns you may have
involving your eyes.

A Refraction
Both automated and doctor-controlled instruments, plus the patient-directed methods, are used to obtain the best glasses prescription for you.

Neurological Screenings
Evaluating the way your eyes and pupils work together and individually can tell us if the nerves and muscles controlling your eyes are working properly or require more investigation.

Eye Health Testing
This takes up most of the examination. The microscope is used, the pupils are often dilated and the inside of the eye is viewed using the proper instruments. Drs. Hamilton & Roten are then able to detect early signs of glaucoma, cataracts, hypertension and diabetes.

Consultation
All patients will be provided with an explanation of the findings, their significance, the treatment plan and other options. Your questions will be answered and the solutions to any difficulties will be reviewed.

Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Roten also have the latest equipment and are able to do additional testing if necessary, which may include:

Photography
Photographs of the front and/or the inside of the eyes are taken if there are findings that need to be reviewed and compared at a later date.

Visual Fields
Your ability to see to the side and above and below will indicate any vision loss and will be tested with our special computer, if and when necessary.

Laser Scanner
Modern technology allows us to use laser devices in a fast, simple, painless manner to determine the health of internal eye nerve tissue.  This is a valuable tool in the early detection of glaucoma.

In addition to providing you with the most thorough eye examination,

Dr. Hamilton and Dr. Roten
can also help you with your vision
correction choices.

Contact Lenses
The contact lens industry is constantly changing. We are proud to provide a full range of contact lenses, materials, services, and solutions that keep up with today's technological advances and improvements. We offer a guaranteed contact lens success program.

Refractive Surgery
If you are interested in correcting your vision with the latest in laser technology, Drs. Hamilton and Roten will help you understand the advantages and disadvantages of current procedures. After your examination, the doctors will be able to determine if you are a candidate for these procedures and will work with you to provide world-class pre- and post-operative care right here in our office.

Our staff is here to assist you in any way we can. We appreciate the trust and confidence you have shown in us by selecting us for your family's eye care needs. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns about your visit.
