What to Expect at an Eye Appointment?
If this is your first time undergoing an eye exam in the past few years, you will be pleasantly surprised that eye doctors have even more advanced technology at their disposal. First, your optometrist will need to build up a baseline of knowledge regarding your visual health to properly assess the results of the exam. You will be asked a lot of questions about your vision; answer them honestly and include as many details as possible, even if you think that some may be embarrassing or insignificant. The information you provide can greatly affect the results of your diagnosis, so it’s vital to be honest to receive accurate results. See Eye Care for signs of vision changes.
An eye exam consists of a series of tests that measure several factors that may affect the condition of your eyes. This part is essential if you are seeking an eyeglasses prescription, as it can determine whether you need glasses. These exams often include a visual acuity test, a refraction assessment, a visual field test, a color vision test, a slit-lamp examination, a tonometry test, and a retinal examination. While this is a long and elaborate process, all of it is necessary to come to an accurate assessment of your eyes and vision.
The optometrists and staff will walk you through the entire process of an eye exam. We encourage you to ask questions regarding your ocular health.
Preparing for an Eye Exam
The first thing you need to prepare before your eye exams are your questions. Since eye exams don’t often occur more than once per year, it’s best to ask all the questions you need answers to while you and your eye doctor are performing the tests. Jot down a list of your questions beforehand so you won’t forget anything. It’s best to also include any symptoms and your medical history, such as any family history of eye-related diseases or conditions.
In order to get an accurate assessment of your eyes, it’s also important to not use any eye drops that would alter your eyes prior to the appointment. This ensures that your eye doctor will get an accurate appraisal of the condition of your eyes and vision.
If you currently wear prescription eyeglasses or contacts, don’t forget to bring them along.
