Getting an Eye Exam

A comprehensive eye exam is the best way to protect your eyesight—and an easy precaution to take. It is particularly important if you notice a change in your vision, if your eye is injured in any way, or if you have a family history of eye disease.

Most eye exams follow a similar pattern, which helps your doctor diagnose, treat and help prevent diseases and disorders from affecting the visual system. Your doctor will review your case history, conduct an external and internal exam of your eyes, and measure vision qualities, such as eye movements and coordination, sharpness of vision and peripheral vision. A comprehensive eye exam provides the full assurance of vision and eye health that a sight test or vision screening cannot.

Your vision is priceless, eye exams by an optometrist not only ensure good vision and eye health, but peace of mind. Locate a licensed eye care professional below.
