Vision and eye exams are some of the best tools to help preserve your vision, prevent eye diseases from affecting your vision, and improve your overall eyesight. Unfortunately, not many people understand just how important it can be to get annual eye exams done, or where to seek help if they are experiencing eye health concerns.

Do I Need an Eye Care Exam?
It's recommended that most adults roughly over the age of 13 but under the age of 40 get an eye exam done once every two to five years, depending on their eye health. However, if you have a pre-exsiting eye disease, vision disorder, or are experiencing sudden changes in your vision, it's best to visit an ophthalmology professional more often or right away for help.
Some signs you need to visit an eye doctor for an exam include:
- New onset of blurry vision
- Eye strain
- Headaches
- Inability to focus eyes
- Tunnel vision
- Vision loss
- Increase in eye pain
- Increase in floaters
- Other concerning changes in vision
What Happens During Eye And Vision Exams?
If you have any of these concerns above, or if you need to get an eye exam done for a new or updated prescription, your ophthalmologist may start off by conducting tests on your eyes.
These tests can include checking your eye pressure, checking to see if you have an eye infection or allergies, and conducting vision exams. These vision exams can determine if you can see up close or far, and if you need prescription eyeglasses or contacts.
An eye doctor on our team might dilate your eyes, ask you to perform eye exercises using a light, and also take an image of the inside of your eye.
