Eye Exam Q & A
When should I schedule my eye exam?
The Eye Appeal Optometry team recommends that adults have an eye exam once a year. Regular eye exams are very important when it comes to the early detection of eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other eye diseases.
You may think that you're seeing clearly, but an eye exam may reveal that your vision could actually be much better with a prescription change. A comprehensive exam every year can help you maintain both clear vision and healthy eyes long term.
When should my child have an eye exam?
Children should have their first basic eye exam at 12 months old. After that, kids should have a comprehensive exam at 3.5 years old, and then again right before kindergarten. Anyone below the age of 5 should see a pediatric optometrist.
Once in kindergarten, children should have an exam once a year. However, each child is unique, so if your child is experiencing difficulty seeing or their eyes are irritated, schedule an appointment right away.
What is an eye exam like?
Eye exams at Eye Appeal Optometry usually include all of the following.
Computerized testing
Computerized testing checks your field of vision, gets a prescription estimate, and measures your eye pressure.
Review of history
Dr. Oishi reviews your vision history with you, including a discussion of glasses and contacts that you've worn in the past. If you're experiencing any vision issues, you'll discuss those at this time, too.
New prescription
Dr. Oishi determines your ideal prescription by performing various tests. Based on his objective findings and your input, will he be able to write a new prescription that is optimized to your eyes for eyeglasses or contacts.
Evaluation of eye health
Evaluation of eye health is usually, but not always, done with your eyes dilated so Dr. Oishi can see the details of your eyes. During this eye health evaluation, Dr. Oishi looks for signs of eye disease, structural abnormalities, and other issues.
After your eye exam, Dr. Oishi discusses your results with you and gives you the prescription. If you need any special eye care, he recommends a treatment plan at this time, too.
How long does my eye exam take?
In general, a comprehensive eye exam only takes around 35-40 minutes. Allow some extra time if you plan to get new eyeglasses, as you'll have a wide variety of fashionable frames to choose from.
