What should I expect during comprehensive eye exams?
Comprehensive eye exams at Vistasite Eye Care of Valley Stream consist of:
Medical history review
Your optometrist discusses your medical history, including your eye health, previous diagnoses, lifestyle, medications, symptoms, and more.
Vision screening
During vision screening, you read numbers and letters from an eye chart to detect potential problems in your ability to see far distances.
During refraction testing, look through various lenses to determine if you would benefit from wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses or if your current vision prescription is adequate.
Your provider may also assess your peripheral vision, color vision, and more.
Eye exam
During an eye exam, your ophthalmologist evaluates your eyes for signs of potential problems. They may use eye drops to dilate your pupils and look at your eyes using a specialized light.
