Optometry Exams
Eye exams are one of the most critical and popular services an eye doctor can offer. Our optometry eye exam is a comprehensive evaluation of your health and function. Before using examination tools, we will likely inquire about your vision, medical history, and concerns. Further recommendations or treatments are often based on what's covered during these exams.
During a complete optometry vision exam, our optometrist will perform a series of tests to assess visual acuity, eye coordination, color perception, and eye health.
We listed some of the most common diagnostic tools below. However, what’s used may depend on your specific situation. A contact lens exam, for example, may look different than a general vision exam.
Visual acuity test
When you think of an eye exam, you might first think of a reading chart test in which you read letters of different sizes from a distance. However, this exam is a visual acuity test, which helps determine how you see.
Refraction test
If you need an eyeglass or contact lens prescription, a refraction test is used to pin down the specifics. Then, you'll be asked to look through a phoropter device while the optometrist switches lenses to see which ones give you the clearest vision.
