What to Expect During an Eye Exam

Annual eye exams are important for children and adults alike. It is sometimes necessary to have these exams more often. Our eye doctors will let you know how often you need to have an eye health checkup. These exams can include a variety of tests, including:

• Eye muscle test
• Refraction test
• Visual acuity test
• Visual field test
• Slit-lamp examination
• Color vision test
• Retinal examination
• Glaucoma screening

Ideally, children will have their first eye checkup between the ages of 6 months and 5 years. This is important because it can help us detect vision problems that may make it difficult for the child to learn in school. The child may not realize there is a problem or he or she may be unable to relay the problem to an adult.

Other Health Conditions

Patients who have other health conditions, such as Crohn’s disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disease, and others should make sure they take their eye health seriously. These conditions can have a negative impact on how your eyes function.
