About Eye Exams
Eye Exams Are you due for an eye exam but feeling apprehensive about what to expect? Don't worry, we've got you covered! Here are some commonly asked questions to ease your mind before your next visit:
1. What should I bring to my eye exam?
It's best to bring your current eyeglasses, sunglasses, and a list of any medications you are taking. If you wear contact lenses, remember to bring those too!
2. How long will the eye exam take?
Eye exams typically last around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of your prescription and any additional tests needed.
3. Do I need to have my eyes dilated?
Dilation is not always necessary for every eye exam, but your eye doctor may recommend it to get a better view of your retina and optic nerve.
4. How often should I get an eye exam?
It is recommended to have a comprehensive eye exam at least once every two years, or more frequently if you have certain risk factors like diabetes or a family history of eye diseases.
