A lot of people expect an eye exam to be a quick chart-reading exercise. What we do is different. A full eye and vision examination at our Conroe location covers both your prescription needs and your overall ocular health — because vision problems and eye disease often develop without any noticeable symptoms.
Visual Acuity Testing
How clearly you see at distance and near — the foundation of any refraction test
Refractive Error Assessment
Detects nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness, and astigmatism with precision autorefraction
Intraocular Pressure Check
Corneal-based pressure screening — a key early indicator for glaucoma
Retinal Evaluation
Digital retinal imaging to examine the optic nerve, macula, and blood vessels
Binocular Vision Testing
Eye muscle coordination, depth perception, and color vision
Contact Lens Evaluation
Corneal health and fit assessment if you wear or want to try contacts
Slit Lamp Examination
Microscopic look at the cornea, iris, lens, and anterior chamber
Dilation (when indicated)
Widened pupil for a complete view of retinal structures
Clear answers before you leave
Every patient leaves with a clear explanation of their results and a same-day prescription when applicable. We include digital retinal imaging and slit lamp examination as standard parts of the exam — not add-ons you have to request separately.
Eye care in Conroe, TX serves a wide range of patients — and honestly, almost everyone benefits from a routine exam at least once a year. That said, certain groups have a stronger reason to stay on schedule.
If your vision feels fine, you might be tempted to skip the annual checkup. But conditions like glaucoma and early macular degeneration don't announce themselves until they've already caused damage. An annual exam catches vision issues before you notice them.
Presbyopia typically starts showing up around this age — that frustrating moment when you suddenly need to hold your phone further away to read it. This is also when the risk of cataract development begins to rise, along with the likelihood of diabetic eye disease for anyone managing diabetes.
We provide family eye care for kids starting at age 5. Children rarely tell you their vision is blurry — they just assume everyone sees the way they do. An early exam can identify refractive errors and conditions like amblyopia (lazy eye) or strabismus (crossed eyes) when they're most responsive to treatment.
If you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of glaucoma or macular degeneration, you're in a higher-risk category for vision loss. Diabetic retinopathy alone is one of the leading causes of preventable blindness in adults. We use visual field testing and intraocular pressure checks to monitor these patients closely at every visit.
Routine exams help identify changes before symptoms appear
Even when your vision feels normal, a regular eye examination can reveal changes in your prescription, eye pressure, retina, or overall ocular health.
Annual checkups are great — but some symptoms warrant a sooner appointment. Don’t put these off:
Blurry or fluctuating vision that comes and goes
Headaches connected to reading or screen time — often a sign of digital eye strain
Sudden floaters or flashes of light in your peripheral vision
Difficulty seeing at night or increased glare sensitivity
Eye redness, pain, or unusual discharge
Double vision
Any sudden change in your vision — always worth a same-day call
Several of these can be early warning signs of serious eye disease. Early detection genuinely changes outcomes — particularly for glaucoma, where an intraocular pressure test can catch elevated eye pressure years before any vision loss begins.
Beyond the standard exam, our Conroe office covers a full range of optometry services for adults and families. You don’t need to drive into Houston for specialized optometric care.
We fit all major contact lens types — including toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses for presbyopia, scleral contact lenses for corneal irregularities, and ortho-k lenses for myopia management. If you’ve struggled to find contacts that actually feel comfortable, our contact lens fitting process is thorough — Dr. Stancea maps your corneal curvature before making any recommendation.
Dry eye is one of the most under-treated conditions in optometry. It’s not just discomfort — chronic dry eye affects your corneal health and your contact lens tolerance long-term. Our dry eye treatment starts with a full evaluation to find the root cause, not just a recommendation for artificial tears.
Our Conroe office includes a glaucoma specialist on staff. Glaucoma damages the optic nerve progressively — and because it has no early symptoms, regular intraocular pressure testing is the primary way to catch it. If elevated pressure or optic nerve changes are found, we manage ongoing care directly rather than routing you to a separate specialist first.
If your child’s prescription keeps getting stronger every year, myopia management may slow that progression. We offer ortho-k lens therapy and myopia management protocols for pediatric patients — worth asking about at your child’s next exam.
Thinking about laser vision correction? We’ll do a full LASIK pre-consultation — including corneal mapping and refractive measurements — to determine whether you’re a strong candidate. You’ll get an objective recommendation, not a sales pitch.
Your examination gives Dr. Stancea the information needed to understand your vision, evaluate your eye health, and recommend the most appropriate next step for your needs.
There’s no shortage of vision centers in Conroe. What sets us apart isn’t the equipment — it’s what happens in the room when the doctor is actually with you.
Dr. Stancea doesn’t operate on a 10-minute clock. He takes time to explain what he’s seeing, answer your questions, and build a clear picture of your long-term vision health.
That’s the kind of personalized eye care that keeps people coming back year after year — and referring their whole family.

Dr. Matthew Stancea earned his Doctor of Optometry from the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry and sees patients at our Conroe and Woodlands locations.
He covers full-scope primary care optometry — from routine eye exams and contact lens fittings to long-term vision care for patients managing ongoing eye health conditions.
Patients consistently say the same thing: he actually listens, and he explains things in plain language. If you’ve ever left an eye appointment more confused than when you walked in, that’s the difference.

Most adults with no existing conditions should schedule a full eye exam once a year. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, an annual exam keeps your prescription accurate. Patients managing glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or macular degeneration may need more frequent visits — Dr. Stancea will set a specific schedule based on your situation.
A vision screening — like the one at your DMV or school — only checks basic visual acuity. It can’t detect glaucoma, retinal disease, or corneal problems. A full eye and vision examination at our Conroe office evaluates the health of every structure in your eye, not just how clearly you read a chart.
Most vision plans — including VSP and EyeMed — cover an annual eye exam. Many medical insurance plans also cover exams when they’re medically necessary, such as diabetes monitoring or glaucoma follow-up. After your visit, you’ll receive your eye prescription the same day. Call us at 936-317-3541 before your appointment and we’ll verify your coverage so there are no surprises.
Bring your insurance card, a photo ID, and your current glasses or contact lenses if you have them. If you wear contacts, try to remove them a few hours before — this gives us a more accurate corneal reading. Complete your patient forms online before arriving and you’ll spend less time in the waiting room.
Yes. We provide family eye care for patients ages 5 and up at our Conroe office. The American Optometric Association recommends a child’s first comprehensive eye exam at age 5, before they start school. Early detection of amblyopia and refractive errors makes a real difference in treatment outcomes.
Same-day appointments are often available during the week. Call 936-317-3541 or book online through the link below — we’ll get you in as quickly as we can.
