Why Are Eye Exams Important?
During an eye exam, we conduct several assessments to get a complete look at not only your eye health but your overall health. Because many eye conditions develop with time, it’s essential to keep up with a regular exam schedule to protect your vision and preserve your health.
Some common problems we can detect during an eye exam include:
How Often Do You Need an Eye Exam?
Although one exam a year is the norm supported by most insurance programs, we know that no 2 patients are alike. We will always take the time to get to know you and your individual needs so that we can tailor the exam frequency to best suit your needs.
What to Expect During Your Eye Exam
Your eye exam will always be tailored to your individual needs. Our exam starts with the filling out of a questionnaire about your general health, which can be done online before your appointment. Our staff will then take you through a series of tests designed to tell us what your prescription is and why, as well as the state of health of your eyes and your visual system.
The doctor will then fine-tune your glasses prescription and help you determine which of the many designs of glasses or contacts would best fulfill your needs. Once all of your questions have been answered, the doctor will review the test results relating to the health of your eyes.
If anything of importance is found, the doctor will explain the condition in-depth, including any additional testing or treatments that are recommended. Patients should expect to spend at least 45 minutes going through the entire process.
