Many people aren’t sure what to expect when they make an appointment with an eye doctor — especially if they’ve never had a comprehensive eye exam before or it’s been many years since their last exam.
Eye doctors use a wide variety of tests and procedures to examine your eyes. These tests range from simple ones, like having you read an eye chart, to complex tests, such as using a high-powered lens to visualize the tiny structures inside of your eyes.
A comprehensive eye exam can take an hour or more, depending on the doctor and the number and complexity of tests required to fully evaluate your vision and the health of your eyes.
