What does a comprehensive eye exam include? We will determine what tests are needed based on your medical history. However, most comprehensive eye exams include the following: Visual acuity to test the sharpness of your vision, usually with an eye chart Visual fields screenings to check for blind spots in your vision* Auto-refraction to estimate your eyeglass prescription Refraction to determine your exact eyeglass prescription Slit lamp to check for common eye diseases and conditions Retinal photo screenings to test for diabetic retinopathy* Tonometry to test eye pressure for related diseases Ophthalmoscopy to examine the optic nerve, retina, and blood vessels *Screening tests are not covered by your vision benefits and there is a small fee if you decide to have these recommended screenings. How often should I get a comprehensive eye exam? For adults, we recommend a comprehensive eye exam once a year. The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends that children have their eyes examined at 6 months old, three years old, at the start of school, and every one to two years until age 18. What about contact lens exams? A comprehensive eye exam typically does not include a contact lens fitting. So you may need to schedule a separate contact lens exam. Just let us know when you schedule your appointment, and we'll make sure you are taken care of. Make healthy vision a priority in your life and in the lives of the ones you love.
