Eye Exams
Regular eye examinations are essential to maintaining eye health. Children should have their first complete eye exam between 2 and 4 years of age to help determine whether they need glasses for schoolwork and to verify that their eyes are healthy. Adults 65 and older, or younger adults with medical conditions, should have dilated eye exams annually to check for cataracts or other vision problems. Most people should have their eyes examined every 1-2 years, as recommended by their eye doctor.
The GlassHouse Optical shop at the Indiana Eye Clinic has a wide selection of popular eyeglasses and sunglasses, including our exclusive collection of designer eyewear. We also have a full service contact lens department with all the latest in contact styles and trends, like color contacts, lenses for astigmatism, lenses that act like sunglasses, and multi-focal contact lenses.

Low Vision
Low Vision (also known as vision rehabilitation) refers to individuals who have less than normal vision even with the most accurate eyeglass prescription, contact lenses, medication or surgery available. It can result from congenital factors or eye conditions such as age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic eye disease. Patients with non-correctable reduced vision are considered to be visually impaired.
The Indiana Eye Clinic (IEC) provides low vision examinations and recommendations for low vision aids. Low vision patients may need stronger than usual reading glasses sometimes with base-in prism, hand or stand magnifiers, special filters, and other devices available at the Indiana Eye Clinic. Patients with more profound vision loss often require more extensive exams and instruction on the proper use of low vision aids. Patients needing occupational therapy services for orientation and mobility or activities of daily living training, may be referred to vision rehabilitation services.
Low vision aids offer an improved visual experience for everyday tasks such as reading, writing and watching television. Rehabilitation programs, aids, and technology are designed to help the patient adapt to vision loss and to continue enjoying life.
