7 Signs You Need an Eye Exam (Even If Your Vision Seems Fine)
Many serious eye conditions develop silently. San Francisco residents often dismiss these warning signs until vision damage becomes irreversible. Watch for:
Frequent Headaches After Screen Time
Digital eye strain affects 65% of adults, but persistent headaches may signal uncorrected astigmatism or convergence insufficiency requiring vision therapy. If you're reaching for pain relievers after every workday, your eyes—not stress—might be the culprit.
Halos Around Lights at Night
If streetlights or headlights appear surrounded by rainbow rings, you might have early cataracts or corneal edema. This symptom warrants immediate evaluation, as it can significantly impact your ability to drive safely at night.
Squinting More Than Usual
Your eyes shouldn't work this hard. Constant squinting indicates your prescription has changed, or you're developing myopia progression that glasses could easily correct. Many patients don't realize how much clearer their vision could be.
Eye Fatigue After Reading
Difficulty focusing on close work after 20 minutes suggests presbyopia (age-related near vision loss) or binocular vision dysfunction requiring specialized lenses. This is especially common for San Francisco professionals who alternate between screens and documents.
Increased Floaters or Flashes
While occasional floaters are normal, sudden increases or lightning-bolt flashes may indicate retinal tears requiring urgent evaluation to prevent detachment. Don't wait—call us immediately if you experience this.
Dry, Irritated Eyes Every Day
Chronic dryness isn't just annoying—it damages your corneal surface and increases infection risk. San Francisco's low humidity and screen-heavy lifestyles make dry eye management essential for long-term eye health.
You Haven't Had an Exam in 2+ Years
Glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration show no symptoms until significant vision loss occurs. Annual exams catch these conditions while treatment still works. Don't wait until something feels wrong.

Advanced Diagnostic Technology That Sees What Others Miss
At Eyes In Disguise, we believe accurate diagnosis requires exceptional tools. That's why we've invested in the same cutting-edge imaging technology used by major medical centers—available right here in our Cow Hollow office for your convenience.
These aren't just expensive machines collecting dust. They're how we detect glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other vision-threatening conditions years before traditional eye exams would reveal them—when treatment is most effective.
State-of-the-Art Diagnostic Tools
We believe in delivering nothing but the best for our patients. That's why we use cutting-edge diagnostic tools to ensure you receive the most accurate and effective care for your eyes through our experienced optometrists in San Francisco.
Zeiss i.Profiler Plus
Think of the i.Profiler as a topographical map of your vision. While traditional eye charts only measure how well you see letters on a wall, this wavefront aberrometer measures exactly how light travels through your entire optical system—cornea, lens, and all.
What it does: Maps 1,500 unique points across your eye's optical system to detect subtle imperfections that cause:
- Halos around lights at night (especially when driving)
- Difficulty seeing in low-light conditions
- Eye strain after extended screen time
- Blurry vision even with glasses
The result? Exceptionally accurate prescriptions tailored to your unique eyes—not a one-size-fits-all solution.
Optomap Ultra-Widefield Retinal Imaging
Traditional retinal photography captures just 15% of your retina—like trying to understand a movie by watching only the center of the screen. Optomap reveals 82% of your retina in one quick, painless image.
What we're looking for:
- Macular degeneration: Drusen deposits and early AMD signs
- Diabetic retinopathy: Blood vessel damage from diabetes
- Retinal tears/detachment: Peripheral damage traditional exams miss
- Systemic diseases: Hypertension, high cholesterol signs
The best part? Most patients don't need dilation drops—no blurred vision for hours afterward.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
If Optomap shows us the surface of your retina, OCT reveals what's happening beneath the surface—layer by microscopic layer. Think of it as an MRI for your eyes, but without radiation or claustrophobic tunnels.
Why this technology is revolutionary:
- Glaucoma: Detects damage 5-10 years before traditional tests show changes
- Macular Degeneration: Tracks drusen growth and fluid accumulation with precision
- Diabetic Eye Disease: Reveals macular edema before it affects your vision
- Retinal Disorders: Shows exact structural changes for treatment planning
The precision advantage: We're not guessing about your eye health. OCT provides objective, measurable data we track over time.
