What to Expect During an Eye Exam at Darien Eye Care

The American Optometric Association recommends annual or bi-annual eye exams for adults depending on one's age, risk factors, and whether you currently wear eyeglasses or contact lenses. Children also need regular eye exams to ensure normal vision development and academic achievement. A comprehensive eye exam is much more than just checking your vision—it's a thorough evaluation of your eye health and an essential checkup for your overall health.

What to Expect During an Eye Exam at Darien Eye Care

If you've never had an eye exam before, you might be wondering what to expect during an eye exam at Darien Eye Care. First, you'll be asked about your medical history and any vision problems you might be experiencing. This helps our optometrist understand your risk of eye disease and vision problems, so we can better tailor the exam to your specific needs.

Next, your optometrist will perform a series of tests to assess your vision and check for eye diseases. These tests might include retinoscopy, where the optometrist shines a light in your eye to see how it reflects off your retina; tonometry, which measures the pressure in your eyes to check for glaucoma; and a detailed examination of your retina and optic nerve with a special magnifying lens.

After these tests, the doctor will discuss the results with you and explain any problems or conditions they found. We will also talk with you about the best ways to treat or manage these issues, whether through glasses, contacts, medication, or potentially surgery.
