Comprehensive Eye Exams in Katy, TX
A comprehensive eye exam at Eye Vantage checks how well you see and how healthy your eyes are. Dr. Sarah Hung, OD, examines adults and children ages 5 and up at our office on FM 529 in Katy, near Elyson and Katy Lakes. We accept most vision and medical insurance, and you can book online in a few minutes.
Why a screening isn't enough
A school or DMV vision screening only checks whether you can read letters on a chart. A comprehensive exam also looks inside the eye for glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration and retinal tears. Most of these cause no pain and no blurry vision until damage is done.
What we check
Vision and prescription. We measure your vision and refine your glasses or contact lens prescription.
Eye teaming and focusing. How well your eyes work together for reading, screens and driving.
Eye pressure and side vision. Two key glaucoma checks.
Front of the eye. Lids, lashes, cornea and lens, including signs of dry eye and early cataracts.
Retina and optic nerve. A detailed look at the back of the eye with advanced imaging.
Our imaging technology
Optomap ultra-widefield imaging captures a 200-degree view of your retina in one image. It helps us find tears and other changes in the far edges of the retina, often without dilation drops. Optomap has an additional fee.
Zeiss Cirrus OCT (optical coherence tomography) shows the layers under the retina's surface. It can find early signs of glaucoma, diabetic swelling and macular degeneration years before you notice a change.
Visual field and eye pressure. A virtual reality visual field test checks your side vision, and the iCare tonometer measures eye pressure without a puff of air.
We save your images so we can compare them at future visits.

Children: we see kids from age 5. Plan an exam before first grade, then every year. Learn more about kids' eye exams.
Adults 18–64: at least every 1–2 years.
