What should you avoid before an exam?

Avoid wearing contact lenses for at least 24 hours and avoid excessive caffeine intake. Additionally, try to avoid using eye drops that could temporarily alter your vision unless prescribed.

What happens during an eye examination?

During an eye exam, you will have a pre-test done and your optometrist will perform a series of tests to assess your vision and eye health.

What is done at a full vision exam?

A full eye exam includes vision tests, eye pressure tests, and a detailed examination of your eye structures. The optometrist will also check for any refractive error, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness, and may recommend corrective lenses if needed. Additionally, assessing the health of your eye muscles and screening for potential eye disease are key components of the exam.

How do I prepare for a test?

Bring your current glasses or contacts, a list of medications, and be ready to discuss your eye health history. It's also helpful to schedule regular eye exams to maintain optimal vision and detect any potential eye disease early.

Comprehensive eye care from start to finish

Blurry vision, dry eyes, or screen-related headaches? If it's been a while since your last exam, it may be time for a closer look. Early signs of conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration can go unnoticed and regular eye exams can play a role in early detection of diabetes, hypertension and other health concerns.
