Eye exams
A full eye exam, at any of twelve offices
A comprehensive exam checks how well you see and how healthy your eyes are. It is for children and adults, whether or not you wear glasses.
Plan on about an hour. If your eyes are dilated, near vision stays blurry and bright light bothers you for a few hours, so bring sunglasses and plan your ride.
Most of an exam is billed to a vision plan. A visit about an eye problem or an eye disease is billed to medical insurance. We tell you which before you leave, and How fees work explains the rest.
At the visit
What happens, step by step
- 01
Step 1: Check-in and history
A technician asks about your eyes, your health, the medicines you take and what you want help with.
- 02
Step 2: Vision and measurements
You read a chart with each eye, and we measure how your eyes focus. That gives the prescription for glasses or contact lenses.
- 03
Step 3: An eye health check
The doctor looks at the front and back of each eye and measures the pressure inside. Drops that widen the pupil, or a photograph of the back of the eye, give a clear view.
- 04
Step 4: Talking it through
The doctor explains what was found, whether you need glasses or contact lenses, and when to come back.
- 05
Step 5: Checkout
You leave with a copy of your prescription, and with the next visit booked if you want it.
How often
An exam guide by age
Children
Before first grade, then every year or two as the doctor advises. A child who squints, sits close to screens or rubs their eyes may need an exam sooner.
Adults 18 to 39
Every one to two years, or every year if you wear glasses or contact lenses.
Adults 40 to 64
Every one to two years. Close-up reading gets harder in these years, and eye health checks matter more.
Adults 65 and older
Every year. Eyes change more with age, and a yearly check keeps up with it.

Questions
About eye exams
Do I need an exam if I see fine?
Yes. Some changes in the eye cause no symptoms at first, and a prescription can change slowly. A regular exam looks at both.
Will my eyes be dilated?
Sometimes. The doctor decides at the visit, and you can ask for a photograph of the back of the eye instead. Dilating drops blur near vision for a few hours.
Can my child have the same exam?
Children have a comprehensive exam too, adjusted to their age. Bring a parent or guardian.
