Eye Exams

Home \ Eye Library \ Eye Exams

Seeing clearly is just one part of your overall eye health. It’s important to have regular eye exams whether or not you wear glasses or contacts, and even if your vision is sharp. The articles below explain what problems can be spotted with an eye exam, what’s involved in a comprehensive exam, and special considerations for kids and contacts.

  • Why are Eye Exams Important?

    Catching problems in their early stages can prevent vision loss. An eye exam can do this by catching things you haven’t yet noticed.

  • Preparing for an Eye Exam

    Make the most of your exams by knowing how often to get them, and what information to bring with you.

  • Your Comprehensive Eye Exam

    Learn what common tests and procedures to expect during a routine eye exam.

  • Eye Exams for Contact Lenses

    A routine exam won’t provide some of the measurements and testing that are required to determine if your eyes are suitable for contact lens wear, and to generate your contact lens Rx.

  • Eye Exams for Children

    When should your child have their first eye exam? Plus, learn about special considerations for developing eyes.
