What to Expect in Your Eye Examination

Consultation

We begin with a friendly discussion about your eye health, lifestyle, and any concerns you may have. This helps us tailor the examination to your specific needs, ensuring the most effective care and advice.

The Examination

We assess your vision, check for prescription updates, and screen for conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Our thorough approach ensures a complete understanding of your eye health.

Your Results and Next Steps

After the examination, we explain your results clearly and answer any questions. If needed, we discuss prescription updates, eyewear options, or further treatment, ensuring you receive the best possible care.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eye Examinations

Find answers to your most common questions right here.

How often should I have an eye examination?

We recommend an eye test every two years, or more frequently if advised by your optometrist. Regular check-ups help detect changes in vision and identify potential eye health concerns early.

How long does an eye examination take?

A standard eye test lasts about 30-45 minutes. If additional tests are needed, such as an OCT scan, it may take a little longer.

Do I need an eye test if my vision seems fine?

Yes. Many eye conditions develop gradually without noticeable symptoms. Regular exams ensure early detection and treatment, helping to protect your long-term vision.

What should I bring to my eye examination?

Please bring your current glasses or contact lenses, details of any medications, and information about your eye health history. This helps us provide the most accurate assessment.
