What to Expect During a Comprehensive Eye Exam
A comprehensive eye exam is a thorough evaluation of your vision and overall eye health. During the exam, our eye doctors will perform a series of tests and assessments to assess your vision and detect any potential eye conditions or diseases. Some of the procedures included in a comprehensive eye exam usually include:
- Visual acuity test: This measures how well you can see at various distances.
- Refraction test: This determines your eyeglass or contact lens prescription.
- Eye movement test: Doing this can help a doctor see if you may benefit from any treatment to help your eyes work together better and potentially help catch any strokes or brain tumors.
- Visual field test: This checks for any blind spots in your peripheral vision.
- Retinal exam: Our eye doctors will use special instruments to examine the inside of your eyes, including the retina and optic nerve.
- Intraocular pressure test: This measures the pressure inside your eye and can help catch high pressures that may need special treatment.
- Microscope scan: An evaluation of the front of the eye with a microscope and digital camera to look for infections, debris, and many other changes in the eye that wouldn’t be detected without a microscope
What Our Eye Doctors Look Out for During an Eye Exam
During an eye exam, our team at the Eye Center of West Jordan will be looking out for any signs or symptoms of potential eye conditions or diseases. Some of the most common conditions we screen for during an eye exam include:
- Myopia (nearsightedness)
- Hyperopia (farsightedness)
- Astigmatism
- Presbyopia
- Cataracts
- Glaucoma
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
Our eye doctors are trained to do exams for all ages, pediatric, geriatric and everyone in between, with age-specific attention given to each person as eyes change with a patient’s maturity.
Importance of Regular Eye Exams
Regular eye exams are essential for maintaining good eye health and early detection of any potential issues that could possibly be vision or even life-threatening if not addressed. Even if you have perfect vision, it is still recommended to schedule a comprehensive eye exam at least every one or two years, as eye health often shows conditions that need prompt attention, even if a person’s vision may be good at a given time (like having a nail in a tire that for the moment is full of air). For those with pre-existing eye conditions or a family history of eye diseases, more frequent exams may be necessary.
Don’t wait until you have noticeable symptoms to schedule an eye exam. Many eye conditions and diseases are asymptomatic in the early stages, making regular exams crucial for early detection and treatment.
