Eye exams

A full eye exam for adults and school-age children

An exam looks at how well you see and how healthy your eyes are. It is for anyone who wears glasses or contact lenses, and for anyone who doesn't and wants to know where things stand.

What to bring

  • Your current glasses and contact lenses

  • A list of the medicines you take

  • Your vision and medical insurance cards, if you have them

  • Sunglasses, if your eyes will be dilated

What happens at the visit

Plan on about an hour. If your eyes are dilated, they may stay sensitive to light for a few hours.

  1. 01

    Step 1: Check in and a few questions

    We ask how your eyes feel and what you use them for, at work and at home.

  2. 02

    Step 2: Your current glasses

    We measure the glasses you wear now and ask how they work for you.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Vision and focus tests

    You look through the phoropter, and we ask which view is clearer, one or two.

  4. 04

    Step 4: A look at your eye health

    The doctor looks at the front and the back of each eye. Some people have drops that widen the pupil.

  5. 05

    Step 5: Results and your prescription

    The doctor explains what was found and gives you a copy of your prescription.

How it is billed

How the exam is billed, in short:

  • A routine exam

    A routine exam is billed to your vision plan.

  • An eye problem or a follow-up

    A visit for a red eye, an eye health check or a follow-up is billed to your medical insurance. Many visits include both.

  • If you pay yourself

    We tell you the fee before the visit starts and give you a written estimate on request.

Questions we hear

How often should I have an exam?

Many adults have an exam about every two years, and every year if they wear contact lenses or have a family history of eye disease or diabetes. The doctor sets the schedule that fits you.

Will my eyes be dilated?

Sometimes. The doctor tells you why before the drops and what to expect afterward. Bring sunglasses.

Do I get a copy of my prescription?

Yes. Your prescription is yours, and you can fill it anywhere.
