Comprehensive State-of-the-Art Eye Exams

There's nothing "routine" about an Eye Exam at Northside Vision. You will notice the difference before you even set foot in our clean, modern and welcoming neighborhood office. You can schedule your exam and complete your forms on-line, and even virtually try on frames from our custom-curated optical. We can even have your selected frames waiting for you when you visit us.

Once you arrive, you will receive a warm greeting, and soon our friendly, skilled technician will take you to our state-of-the-art Pretesting Room. After the Doctor reviews the preliminary findings gathered by the technician, you will enjoy being examined by a Board Certified, Berkeley educated, award-winning optometric physician. And, Dr. Fairborn is the only optometric physician-patent attorney in the US... So you can rest assured he is detail-oriented and appreciates technology.

We value your time, so we use specialized equipment to make your exam as efficient and effective as possible. With more than 25 years of experience and a commitment to on-going training, Dr. Fairborn selectively leverages technology to give you the best possible vision exam and eye health screening.

Our eye exams include screenings for glaucoma, cataracts, dry eye, diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration, meibomian gland dysfunction, eye cancer and even some neurological issues. Early detection saves lives and your precious eyesight.

When your exam is complete, we will provide you with a thorough explanation of our findings and a customized treatment plan. Dr. Fairborn will review your options and carefully listen to your concerns and address any questions you may have.

For patients needing vision correction, we offer a beautifully curated selection of eyewear, expertly fitted by our highly-trained optical team who will help you look and see your best. For patients needing additional medical testing or treatments, our worry-free process provides you prioritized scheduling for your exam and free medical insurance preauthorization services.
