Why Regular Eye Exams Are Necessary
Regular eye exams are important for more than just updating your prescription. They are an underrated part of preventive health care.
Even if you’re not experiencing vision problems, eye exams help detect early signs of eye conditions and diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Many of these don’t show symptoms until later stages, so routine exams help us address these issues early.
What to Expect During Your Eye Exam
We’ll guide you through a thorough eye health assessment, checking for refractive errors, signs of disease, and overall eye function. Here’s a look at what you can expect during your visit:
- Comprehensive vision tests: These assess how well you can see at various distances and will help determine if you need corrective lenses.
- Eye health evaluation: We’ll check for common eye diseases and conditions, such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration.
- Prescription update: If needed, we’ll update your prescription for glasses or contact lenses.

How to Prepare for Your Eye Exam
To get the most out of your exam, here are a few tips to help you prepare:
- Bring your current glasses or contact lenses so we can check your prescription.
- If you are having your pupils dilated, you may experience blurry vision and increased light sensitivity for a few hours afterward, so you might want to bring sunglasses or arrange for a ride home.
- Be ready to discuss any vision changes you’ve noticed, including difficulty seeing at night, blurry vision, or eye discomfort.
- Let us know about any health changes or medications you are taking, as they may affect your eye health.
