The optometrist will check the interior and exterior eye as well as the surrounding area for defects and disease, as well as assess the ability to see clearly at near and far distances, eye coordination, color vision, depth perception, refractive error and field of vision. We recommend that you bring sunglasses to wear after your exam because your eyes may be sensitive to sun after dilation. We do provide disposable sunglasses for your use if you forget yours.
Most people can drive after a visual exam.
However, if you are farsighted you may have visual impairment and would have to wait a few hours to drive. For this reason, you may wish to make transportion arrangements before your exam. Eye examinations for preventive care are an important part of eye health. Anyone with a history of visual problems should get routine preventive care. People who wear contact lenses should get an exam annually.
