The Trusted Source for Eye Exams in the Heart of the Albany, NY Region

If it has been getting harder to read or see road signs, it may be time for an eye exam. Our friendly staff at CJ Sabatini Opticians Inc is here to help you determine the best eye care options for you and your loved ones.

Not only do regular eye exams give your eye doctor a chance to help you correct or adapt to vision changes, but an eye exam is also one of the best ways to protect your vision because it can detect eye problems at their earliest stage - when they’re most treatable. During an eye exam, an eye doctor is able to check for signs of eye diseases or chronic conditions that can affect not only your vision but your overall health such as diabetes or glaucoma.

We perform eye exams by appointment at our 2005 Western Avenue store in Albany, NY. We can also fill your eye prescription from your ophthalmologist. Schedule your eye exam with us today!

What is Checked for During An Eye Exam?

During an eye exam, the health of your cornea and iris are checked using a slit lamp microscope. Your eye pressure is checked to determine if you are at risk for glaucoma. After inserting dilating drops, your doctor will check the health of your retina and look for problems like macular degeneration, cataracts, retinal detachments, and other complications. Your eye doctor will also check these factors:


  • Visual sharpness
  • Color vision
  • Eye muscle balance
  • Gross visual field
  • Refractive error, or your eyeglass prescription
