Comprehensive Eye Exam
Your eyes are complex organs that provide the critical ability to perceive the world. We rely on our eyes for so many tasks that maintaining healthy eyes is critical for our quality of life. This is why it is important to get comprehensive eye exams with an eye doctor.
What Is a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
Compared to a standard vision test, a comprehensive eye exam is a deep dive into your visual acuity and eye health. It takes your eye doctor deeper into your eyes to look for signs of eye diseases and problems that could impact your vision in the future. During your comprehensive eye exam, your eye doctor will check your eyes in many ways and with many tests.
- Visual acuity/search for refractive error: Your eye doctor will look for visual problems that can be corrected with lenses like glasses or contacts.
- Eye teaming and movement: Do your eyes work together for proper vision? The eye doctor will evaluate your eye movements to look for signs of a problem.
- Eye diseases: Your eye doctor will examine your eyes for signs of problems like glaucoma, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration.
Why Get a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
Comprehensive eye exams are necessary to identify problems that go deeper than normal near-sightedness or far-sightedness. Some eye diseases develop without patients realizing they have a problem until they’ve lost some of their visual ability. Going to the eye doctor periodically for a comprehensive eye exam can help catch these problems in earlier stages to make treatment possible.
Who Needs a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
Everyone should get comprehensive eye exams from time to time. When you should go depends on your age and risk factors. Ask your eye doctor when to return for your next comprehensive eye exam.
