What To Expect During Eye Exams

Don't make the mistake of putting off an eye exam. Many people think the only time they should visit the optometrist is if they are currently having problems with their vision. You should schedule an eye exam for everyone in the family once a year for preventive care and early intervention. At VisionSmith, serving Plymouth MN, and the surrounding areas, we are here to help you feel confident and comfortable during your eye exams. Let's look at what you can expect during your visit.

Consultation 

When you first meet with the optometrist, you will have a chance to discuss any vision or eye health concerns you may have. You can also discuss any vision prescriptions you already have.

Vision Screening

You will undergo a vision screening. This is the traditional eye test that most people are familiar with. This can help the eye doctor determine if you need vision correction.

Eye Health Exam

This is a very important part of the annual optometrist appointment. An eye appointment involves more than just a vision screening. The eye health exam is intended to check the eyes for any underlying conditions that may not be manifesting as vision problems yet. There are eye health problems that do not create vision issues but are still serious and need treatment.

Recommendations

At the end of the visit, the eye doctor will make their recommendations. If you need vision correction, you will receive a prescription for eyeglasses or contacts. During this time, the doctor may also make recommendations on how you can improve your screen habits and eye care at home.
