Medications, prescriptions etc. can affect the health of the eyes, and also indicate to the eye care provider what the patient is being treated for.
It is recommended to have periodic baseline eye exams in childhood and adulthood. It’s wise to have a routine exam in your forties, but if there is a family history of any eye disease, it may be important to have more frequent check-ups.
Many medical conditions affect the health of the eyes.
Visual field tests are usually done yearly, sometimes every 6 months.
Vision can change for many reasons, just as pulse rate and blood pressure can change.
There are several tests which must be done by the technician so that your doctor will have necessary information to evaluate your eyes. You may also be dilated for the appointment, which takes 30 minutes.
In most people, our ability to focus up close decreases as we age into our forties and beyond. This can be corrected with prescription or non-prescription reading glasses or bifocals.
You should be prepared for dilation at each visit, even if it didn’t occur at a previous visit you had.
An Optometrist does standard vision screenings for glasses and contact lenses, but may send you to a specialist MD for problems.
You should expect to be at your appointment 1-2 hours. Some appointments may take less time but we want you to be prepared.
