Eye Exam

WHAT TO EXPECT

During an eye exam, an eye care expert will verify your insurance benefits and discuss your general medical history, current medications, eye injuries, and corrective lenses or contacts you are currently using. Then a series of preliminary tests will be done by your eye care expert such as a visual field test and eye pressure test before your eyes are measured with an autorefractor. Then, the eye exam begins! Our doctor will access how your eyes work together, do a visual acuity test, and perform an eye refraction test to finalize your prescription. Finally, our doctor will perform a binocular slit lamp examination to check the health of the front and back portion of your eyes.

IMPORTANCE OF YEARLY EXAMS

Many people don’t realize the importance of an annual eye exam. Yearly eye exams not only check your vision, but more importantly, help detect eye health issues. Serious eye diseases don’t often show any signs or symptoms early on, and having an eye doctor check your eyes yearly can help detect concerns and prevent complications. At Pearle Vision, our eye care experts will take the time to ask you the right questions, so they can give you the quality of care you deserve.

COMMON EYE CONDITIONS

From blurry vision to diabetic retinopathy, there are a variety of ways our eyes can bother us. Typically, common eye disorders can be identified by their symptoms, making it easy for the optometrists at Pearle Vision to assist you. From helping you understand what causes cataracts, to stopping your eye twitch, Pearle Vision experts are here to guide you along in your eye care journey.
