Eye Exam

Review your medical history

Before your eye exam, take a moment to go over your medical history. Note any changes in your overall health, medications, or existing eye conditions. This information is crucial for your optometrist to understand your current health status and provide the best care.

Compile a List of Concerns or Questions

Jot down any specific issues or questions you have about your vision or eye health. Whether it's changes in your vision, discomfort, or general queries about eye care, having a list ensures that you cover all your concerns during the appointment.

Bring Previous Prescription Glasses or Contacts

If you wear prescription glasses or contact lenses, bring them with you to the appointment. Your optometrist may want to check your current prescription to assess if any adjustments are needed. This step helps in ensuring accurate vision correction.

Arrive with Timefor Pre-Exam Tests

Plan to arrive a bit early for your appointment. This allows time for pre-exam tests that measure aspects like intraocular pressure, peripheral vision, or eye coordination. Being punctual ensures a comprehensive assessment of your eye health.

Stay Hydrated

Adequate hydration is essential for overall health, including eye health. Drink plenty of water to maintain the moisture level in your eyes, preventing dryness and irritation.

Protect Your Eyes from UV Rays

Shield your eyes with 100% UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses to prevent cataracts and other issues caused by prolonged UV exposure.

Ensure Proper Lighting

Create a well-lit environment when reading or working to reduce eye strain. Position your lighting source behind you & use indirect lighting to minimize glare on screens & surfaces.

Get Adequate Sleep

Prioritize a good night's sleep, as it plays a crucial role in eye health. Lack of sleep can lead to eye fatigue and discomfort, so aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night.

Blink Regularly

Be mindful of blinking, especially when working on a computer or staring at screens for extended periods. Blinking helps refresh the eyes and prevents dryness.

Be Mindful of Allergies

If you have allergies, manage them effectively. Allergic reactions can affect the eyes, causing redness and itchiness. Consult with an allergist or eye care professional.
