Whether you wear eyeglasses, use contact lenses, or have noticed a change in your vision, a regular exam helps you stay informed about your eye health and prescription needs.
The importance of annual eye exams
A comprehensive eye exam does more than update a prescription. It allows your eye doctor to evaluate your vision, assess the health of your eyes, and look for early signs of eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and changes related to diabetes.
Many eye conditions do not cause obvious symptoms in their earliest stages. Routine exams can help identify changes before they interfere with your vision. Your visit is also an opportunity to discuss headaches, eye strain, screen use, night driving, near-vision changes, or any other concerns you have noticed.
Your exam includes meaningful face-to-face time with an experienced optometrist. Our doctors perform your exam and refraction, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and receive personalized recommendations.
What to expect during your eye exam
Your eye exam is tailored to your health history, current vision, prescription, and daily visual demands. Depending on your needs, your visit may include:
● Review of your health history, medications, and vision concerns
● Testing to measure your vision and determine whether your prescription has changed
● An evaluation of how your eyes focus and work together
● Eye pressure testing to screen for glaucoma-related concerns
● An examination of the internal and external structures of your eyes
● Retinal imaging with EIDON technology, when appropriate
● A discussion of work, hobbies, screen time, driving, and other factors that affect your vision
● Recommendations for eyeglasses, lenses, or sunglasses based on your needs
If we identify a concern requiring medical treatment or specialty management, we can refer you to an appropriate eye care provider for ongoing care.
Eye exams for for eyeglasses and contact lenses
If you wear eyeglasses, your visit includes a review of your prescription and vision needs. Following your exam, our ABO-certified opticians can guide you through a carefully curated selection of frames and lens options. Because we are vendor-neutral, we can recommend lens materials, coatings, and features based on what works best for you rather than a single lens brand.
If you wear or are interested in contact lenses, a contact lens exam includes additional testing to evaluate lens fit, comfort, and vision. We offer options for multifocal lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, and monovision. Your doctor will help you find contact lenses that align with your eyes and routine.
Eye exams for children and adults
We welcome patients ages 5 and older for routine eye care. A pediatric eye exam can identify vision concerns that may affect reading, school, sports, and visual development. We also offer a large selection of children’s frames, with more than 100 options available.
For adults, especially patients over 40, routine eye exams are important for monitoring age-related changes in vision and eye health. Patients with diabetes should receive regular eye exams to monitor changes that may affect the retina and vision.
How often should you get your eyes checked?
Your recommended exam schedule depends on your age, prescription, eye health, family history, and overall health. The American Optometric Association recommends that adults ages 18 to 64 receive an eye exam at least every two years if they are at low risk, while adults age 65 and older should have annual exams. People who wear corrective lenses, have diabetes, have a family history of eye diseases, or have noticed changes in their vision may need more frequent visits.¹
Schedule an eye exam promptly if you experience:
Blurry, double, or fluctuating vision
Frequent headaches or eye strain
Difficulty seeing at night or in low light
Trouble reading or focusing up close
Eye redness, discomfort, or persistent dryness
Sudden floaters, flashes of light, or a noticeable change in vision
