Why are vision exams important?

Did you know 75% of Americans need some sort of vision correction? But going to the eye doctor can help more than just your eyes. Eye exams are an easy way to detect:

• High-blood pressure
• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• Brain tumors
• Cancers
• High cholesterol
• Macular Degeneration
• Cataracts
• Glaucoma

What to expect at a routine vision exam?

Every doctor is different when it comes to treating their patients. But there are some things that you should expect at every routine vision exam. Your doctor may:

• Ask you questions about your vision history, medical history, and your family’s vision
• Test to see if you need corrective lenses or have poor vision
• See how your eyes react to light
• Test your field of vision and how well you can see
• Check for color blindness
• Screen your eyes for Glaucoma
• Perform eye dilation

Older patients may have more detailed routine eye exams. Talk to your eye doctor if you’re having trouble with your eyes before your exam starts to ensure you get the most accurate treatment.
