Step by Step
What’s Included in Our Comprehensive Eye Exams
A comprehensive eye exam is more than reading an eye chart. Your optometrist looks at how well you see and at the structures inside and outside your eyes. The exam is painless, and you’re welcome to ask about any test as we go.

We start with your personal and family eye health history and any changes in your vision you’ve noticed.
Distance and near vision
Testing how clearly you see far away and up close, for driving, reading and screens.
Your current prescription
We check how well your current glasses or contacts are working and update the prescription if your vision has changed.
Eye coordination and focusing
How well your eyes work together, track and change focus between near and far.
The outside of your eyes
A close look at your eyelids, cornea, iris and lens for irritation, dryness or clouding.
The inside of your eyes
An exam of the retina and optic nerve to look for early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease.

Early Detection
Eye Conditions Your Exam Can Detect
Eye conditions can affect people of all ages, and many have no early warning signs. Finding them early, and treating them, helps protect your vision.
Refractive Errors
Nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia are common refractive errors that may cause blurred vision.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects central vision and is a common cause of vision loss among older adults.
Cataracts
A cataract is a clouding of the eye’s natural lens that may cause blurry or dim vision.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic retinopathy occurs when diabetes damages blood vessels in the retina, which may lead to vision problems.
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that can damage the optic nerve and may lead to vision loss.
Amblyopia
Amblyopia, commonly known as lazy eye, is one of the most common causes of reduced vision in children.
Strabismus
Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes are not properly aligned.
Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry eye syndrome occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears or when tears evaporate too quickly.

What Our Patients Say
Kind words from patients in The Villages and nearby communities.
What a wonderful experience with Peepers Eye Care! The doctor took the time to thoroughly evaluate my vision and accurately diagnose my eye condition. I highly recommend this practice.
Ruth Braithwaite-Graesser My ophthalmologist at Shands suggested that I use an optometrist, since I didn’t need any more eye surgery. I mentioned Peepers, her response was “He has an excellent reputation. I’m very happy that you are not going to bi box store. Once they sell you the glasses, they don’t take the extra care.” Dr. Tuli was 100% on the button. My eye exams provide the perfect prescriptions. The choice of frames is incredible.The last pair of glasses, I ordered in the morning and they were ready that afternoon. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Collins and the staff at Peepers.
roe d I recently had an eye exam for new progressive sunglasses. What a wonderful team of professionals. The doctor was so caring and patient. The technicians, Rachel and Melissa, completed the wonderful and positive experience in this office. I highly recommend this vision center.
Sharon Buckley I needed a new pair of glasses quickly as I was leaving for a vacation in 5 days. Rachel was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and professional. I picked up my new glasses within 24 hours of dropping off the prescription. They are fantastic! I would definitely recommend Peepers to my friends.
Robert Knorr Ordered new pair of glasses a couple weeks ago, and they were ready in a few hours the same day. I believe this is my third purchase of glasses I have purchased here over quite a few years now. Have a great choice of frames , and their service After the sale is Excellent. I have stopped in several times for adjustments, new nose pieces and for tightening the screws. Never an issue, Tahoe care of it right away. Staff very friendly, and very fair pricing. This is the only optical store I will use.
Elizabeth Dexter I just came from the Peepers Eye Care store in The Villages. Went in with a banged up pair of expensive sun glasses I thought ready for the trash. Rachel stepped & worked her magic with a smile and you guess it....my glasses are good to go!! It's such a treat to have your expectations exceeded. Check out Peepers people!
