What Is An Eye Exam?
An eye exam is a series of tests conducted by an optometrist or ophthalmologist to assess your vision and the health of your eyes. These tests range from simple ones, like reading an eye chart, to complex ones, such as using a high-powered lens to examine the health of the internal structures of your eyes.
Frequency
It's recommended to have an eye exam every one to two years, depending on age, risk factors, and whether you currently wear corrective lenses.
Detection
Eye exams can detect eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degenerations, as well as systemic diseases like diabetes and hypertension.
Benefits
Regular eye exams help maintain optimal vision and eye health, prevent eye diseases, and update prescriptions for corrective lenses.
