During your appointment, we’ll take the time to carefully assess your vision, update your eyeglass prescription, and perform comprehensive testing to check for any changes in your eyesight. This ensures that your prescription is always accurate and that you enjoy the clearest, most comfortable vision possible. If you’re considering contact lenses, Dr. Adeleke can also perform a complete contact lens evaluation. This includes finding the right lens type, size, and material to suit your unique eye health and lifestyle whether you’re new to wearing contacts or simply need an updated prescription. Prefer not to rely on glasses or contact lenses? That’s absolutely fine. We also provide evaluations for surgical vision correction and, if appropriate, can refer you to trusted LASIK surgeons here in North Carolina.
Our goal is to help you understand your options and choose the vision correction that fits your life, with personal recommendations and a focus on your long-term eye health.

One of the best reasons to keep up with routine eye exams is to protect your long-term eye health. Many eye diseases develop slowly and without symptoms. During your visit, Dr. Adeleke uses specialized lights, lenses and diagnostic tools to examine the structures of your eyes and look for early signs of conditions such as, dry eye disease, eye allergies, glaucoma and cataracts.
If she finds something that needs a closer look, she may recommend more testing or a follow-up visit. For more complex conditions, we co-manage care with trusted glaucoma, cataract and retina specialists, so you get specialized treatment while Northpoint Eye Studio stays involved in your care.

Most adults should have a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years, depending on their age, eye health, and risk factors. Annual exams are particularly important for adults 65 and older and people who wear contact lenses or have certain medical conditions or a family history of eye disease. School-age children should also have annual eye exams. Dr. Adeleke can recommend the right schedule for you.
Vision screenings, such as those performed at schools or during driver's license applications, typically assess basic visual abilities but don't provide a complete evaluation of your eye health. A comprehensive eye exam also evaluates the structures and health of your eyes, helping identify conditions that may not cause noticeable vision changes.
Yes. After your annual eye exam, Dr. Adeleke gives you a paper or digital eyeglass prescription, and you are free to use it anywhere. Contact lenses need a separate contact lens exam and fitting, because they sit directly on your eye.
Your routine eye exam includes a review of your health history, vision testing for an updated prescription, and a series of painless checks of your eye pressure, retina and overall eye function. Dr. Adeleke then explains your results and next steps.
Not every eye exam requires dilation. Dr. Adeleke will determine whether your eyes need to be dilated based on your eye health, medical history, and risk factors. Dilation uses special eye drops to widen your pupils, allowing a closer look at your retina and optic nerve to check for signs of eye disease.
If your eyes are dilated, you may experience temporary blurry vision and sensitivity to light for several hours. We recommend bringing sunglasses and arranging a ride home if needed.
Many vision insurance plans cover routine comprehensive eye exams, although benefits vary by provider and plan. Northpoint Eye Studio accepts several vision insurance plans, including VSP, EyeMed, MetLife, Guardian, and Community Eye Care.
Depending on your coverage, copays or additional fees may apply. Medical eye exams and certain diagnostic tests may fall under your medical insurance instead. If you're unsure about your benefits, learn more here or contact our team before your appointment. We're happy to help you understand your options.
