Frequently Asked Questions
What Happens During an Eye Exam?
During a comprehensive eye exam, your eye doctor will check your eyes for common diseases, as well as determine if you require a prescription for glasses/contact lenses. During the exam, you will be asked to read a line of letters from an eye chart and do a variety of visual acuity tests. Your doctor may also choose to dilate your pupils in order to perform a more thorough check for health issues.
What are the Most Common Eye Diseases?
The most common eye diseases and disorders include:
- Cataracts
- Refractive errors
- Retinal disorders
- Optic nerve disorders
- Macular degeneration
- Conjunctivitis
- Strabismus
- Diabetic eye conditions
I Have 20/20 Vision - Do I Still Need an Eye Exam?
Yes. Even if you have perfect vision, an eye exam is still an important window into your overall health. An eye doctor is able to detect signs of stroke, diabetes, brain tumors, cardiovascular disease, and many more health conditions through a simple eye exam. It’s especially important to get yearly eye exams if you have a family history of eye diseases such as glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, among others.
What’s the Difference Between Reading Glasses & Prescription Glasses?
Reading glasses are simply glasses with a mild magnification to aid in reading or seeing things close-up. They typically range in strength from +1 to +4, and are available over the counter without a prescription from an eye doctor. Prescription glasses are only available through an eye doctor. They are used to help those who are both near and farsighted, and carry much higher magnification strengths.
