Comprehensive Eye Care
Your eyes deserve exceptional care, which is why at Visionary Eye Care in Owings Mills, we’ve created an examination experience that goes beyond the standard vision test. Dr. Brian Granek and Dr. Jill Vocci lead our team in providing comprehensive eye examinations that combine advanced technology with personalized attention to detail.
The Visionary Eye Care Examination Experience
We understand that visiting the eye doctor can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve designed our examination process to be thorough yet comfortable. Our state-of-the-art Optos retinal camera allows us to capture detailed images of your eye health without the inconvenience of dilation – meaning you can return to your daily activities immediately after your appointment.
Most appointments take approximately 30 minutes, during which you’ll receive our undivided attention and expert care. We believe in taking the time to answer all your questions and ensure you fully understand every aspect of your eye health.

Eye Exam Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Why do so many people skip their annual eye exam?
We believe it’s because they don’t know what to expect. For this reason, we feel it’s important to outline the process so you can feel comfortable knowing there’s nothing to worry about.
We strongly encourage everyone to get a comprehensive eye exam once a year. Even if you do not have vision problems, a vision “check-up” can be critical in spotting and treating issues before they affect your vision. This is especially important for children who may not even realize that the problems they may be having in school are actually vision related. Our comprehensive eye exam is designed to provide a complete evaluation of your vision health.
Why is my personal background important?
Drs. Granek & Vocci will review any current vision problems, your general health, as well as discuss your hobbies and lifestyle requirements to better tailor your examination and eyewear to meet your visual needs.
What can I expect from the overall exam?
In addition to determining your prescription, or how well you see up close and far away, your eye examination will also check to make sure your eyes are healthy. Drs. Granek & Vocci may test your color vision, depth perception, as well as check for any early indicators of possible eye disorders, such as cataracts, retinal problems and glaucoma. Ultimately, the elements of your exam will be determined by our staff.
Why does the doctor ask me, "Which is better, one or two?"
Drs. Granek & Vocci will ask these questions during the portion of the examination when your prescription is determined. Being perfectionists, they will ask you to compare a series of lenses to determine which is clearer. As the differences become less noticeable when getting closer to the proper prescription. For this reason, if you’re having a hard time choosing between the options, it’s a good thing!
What about the test with the puff of air?
Don’t worry!!! Drs. Granek & Vocci does not use the puff of air and prefers a more precise measurement called Goldmann tonometry. This is an important test, as high pressure may be an indicator of glaucoma.
Why is it often necessary to know my blood pressure?
High blood pressure can affect the blood vessels in your eyes and can lead to future vision problems.
Why am I asked to follow a light with my eyes?
This test is used to determine how your pupils and eye muscles react, and is important in assessing neurological function.
Is it necessary to dilate my pupils during the exam?
Pupil dilation is not always necessary. Drs. Granek & Vocci will make this decision during your exam. If required, this painless process allows our doctors to get a wider view of the retina. Dilation can also help detect diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure and macular degeneration.
