WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN EYE EXAM WITH REFRACTION?

During your comprehensive eye exam with refraction, we measure your visual acuity; determine your eye-glass prescription near and at a distance; evaluate your eye muscle coordination; assess the front of the eye with a microscope; perform a glaucoma test; and dilate your eyes to properly evaluate the retina. However, we have invested in new technology so that you don’t necessarily have to be dilated during your exam.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO HAVE AN EYE EXAM?

CHILDREN:

• • A child may have rapid vision changes due to growth spurts.
• • Parents and teachers may not recognize exactly what a child sees and the child   may not be able to communicate vision problems.
• • Academic and athletic abilities may be compromised by sub-standard vision.
• • A child does not have the means to know what correct eyesight is and may learn   to compensate for his/her difficulties causing long-term vision problems.

ADULTS:

• • For early detection of ocular diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts and macular   degeneration.
• • Changes in vision without a change in prescription can lead to eye fatigue,   headaches and eyestrain.
• • During the ages of 40 to 55 years, eyes experience more prescription changes   than ever, specifically your near vision.
• • Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in the U.S. and physical illness may   lead to vision loss.
