Light passes through the cornea, pupil, and crystalline lens before traveling through the vitreous to reach the retina. The retina and macula convert light into nerve signals that travel along the optic nerve to the brain, where the images you see are formed.
Routine eye exams safeguard long-term vision by detecting issues before symptoms appear. Comprehensive testing may include dilation, retinal photos, external imagery, or visual field screenings, and can reveal signs of systemic conditions like diabetes or hypertension.
Yearly visits are especially important for children, contact lens wearers, and anyone managing chronic health concerns so vision stays clear and eye health stays on track.
Dilation uses eyedrops to widen the pupils so the doctor can examine the full retina and optic nerve. It relaxes eye muscles for more accurate pediatric refractions and works hand-in-hand with digital retinal photos and visual field testing to monitor eye health.
Visual field screenings measure central and peripheral awareness to uncover signs of glaucoma or neurological changes long before they impact day-to-day sight.
A contact lens visit includes a glasses prescription, contact lens evaluation, trial lenses for soft contacts, and a starter kit. Follow-up appointments may be needed for new wearers. Options range from daily disposables and toric lenses to multifocals and specialty fits, and must be paired with a comprehensive eye exam.
The term describes the ability to read a standardized letter size at 20 feet. It reflects how the eye and brain interpret light and is simply a benchmark for visual clarity with or without corrective lenses.
Legal blindness means best-corrected vision remains 20/200 or worse in the better eye, or that peripheral vision is limited to 20 degrees or less. Regular exams help identify changes early and preserve remaining sight.
Refraction determines the precise eyeglass prescription by measuring nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Understanding the results can clarify many common vision concerns:
