Frequently Asked Questions
What do eye doctors check for during eye exams?
A lot more than just your prescription. Your optometrist will evaluate your vision, eye alignment, and overall eye health — screening for conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and dry eye. Many eye diseases develop silently, with no noticeable symptoms in the early stages. A thorough exam allows us to catch those changes early and act before they affect your quality of life.
How often should you get an eye exam?
For most adults, every one to two years is a solid baseline. That said, your ideal schedule depends on your current prescription, age, and any health conditions that raise your risk for eye complications — diabetes and high blood pressure are common examples. Children should also see an eye doctor regularly, since uncorrected vision problems can affect reading, learning, and development in ways that aren’t always obvious to parents or teachers.
-Assessing visual acuity (the sharpness of your vision) and determining your correct eyeglass prescription.
-Using automated visual field testing to detect dysfunctions in central and peripheral vision caused by various medical conditions, including glaucoma, stroke, brain tumors, or other neurological problems.
-Taking a thorough medical history, including your current medications, family history of eye diseases and other conditions, and any eye concerns you’re currently experiencing.
-Evaluating binocular vision to check for loss of depth perception, strabismus (eye turn), and amblyopia (“lazy eye”).
-Checking the pressure in your eye and determining if you have an increased risk for glaucoma.
-Dilating your pupils to monitor the health of the retina and optic nerve.
-Screening for and diagnosing various eye conditions, including glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and ocular surface disease.
Comprehensive eye exams can take up to an hour, depending on your eye health and how many tests you need. Before performing each test, our eye doctor will clearly explain what it involves. All the tests we perform are painless and are a crucial part of maintaining optimal eye health.
If we find any signs of issues, our eye doctor will work closely with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. They will also prescribe contact lenses or eyeglasses if you need them to see clearly.
How long does an eye exam take?
Patients should plan on 30 to 60 minutes for a comprehensive exam. If you’re also being fitted for glasses or contacts, we’ll take a little extra time to make sure everything fits well and gives you the clearest, most comfortable vision possible. We’d rather get it right than rush you out the door.
