What to Expect From Your Eye Exam

To begin your comprehensive eye exam, we’ll start with a run-through of your medical history and check-in about any visual concerns you may have noted.

Please bring your current prescription glasses or contact lenses along with you. This way, we can ensure your vision correction is right for you.

We may ask questions about your lifestyle, activities, and work environment to suss out any risk factors and vision needs.

During Your Exam

During your exam, we’ll run a series of tests to test your eyes and vision:
