Find Out What Your Eyes Need

Accurately diagnosing eye diseases and vision problems is the first step toward correcting, treating, or managing them. Eye exams allow your optometrist to spot problems early and deal with them before they can impair your eyesight.

When Do Adults Need Eye Exams?

According to the American Optometric Association, adults should have comprehensive eye exams:

During the Eye Exam

Your eye exam will probably take 30 to 60 minutes unless we need to run extra tests. If we plan to keep you longer, we’ll tell you ahead of time so you can be prepared.

Your peripheral vision (how easily you can see objects at the sides of your vision)
Your pupillary response (how your pupils react to light or other stimuli)
The way your eyes move

We also record information about the general health of your eyes by looking closely at your:

If we find signs of eye diseases or vision problems, we’ll let you know immediately and recommend strategies for dealing with them. We’ll also update your prescription and help you find new eyeglasses or contact lenses if needed, and let you know when your next visit is.
