What to expect during your eye exam:
Your eye exam will involve a series of tests utilizing the latest in technology designed to evaluate your vision and check for eye diseases. Each test during an eye exam evaluates a different aspect of your vision and your doctor will use different types of instruments to check all the areas of your eyes.

The exam will usually begin with your doctor or technician asking about your medical history, and if you are having any vision problems. Your eye doctor will check your eyes using a light to ensure the exterior parts of your eyes are healthy. The also measure your visual acuity, assesses your need for glasses and examines your eyes for signs of disease.

Tests that may be included in your comprehensive eye exam:

Dilation: Drops are placed into your eyes to dilate, or widen, the pupils. Your doctor uses a magnifying lens to examine. Your vision may remain blurred and sensitive to light for three to four hours after the drops are placed.

Slit-lamp exam
The slit-lamp examination looks at structures that are at the front of the eye.

Tonometry
