Patient Information

Routine eye exams support long‑term vision and overall eye health, and they’re an important part of preventive care. For people with stable vision and no known eye disease, a comprehensive exam every one to two years is typically recommended. During this visit, your eyes are dilated so the doctor can closely evaluate the retina, your vision is checked, and you’re screened for a variety of medical eye conditions. If the doctor finds anything that needs a closer look, a more detailed exam and any necessary testing will be scheduled.

Any new or worsening changes in your vision between routine visits should be evaluated promptly. Early detection and timely treatment play a major role in protecting lifelong sight.

Patient Information

Preparing for Your Exam

When scheduling your appointment, be prepared to describe any current vision concerns. It’s also helpful to ask whether your exam may affect your vision temporarily—such as with dilation—and whether you’ll need someone to drive you home. You may want to confirm insurance coverage and payment details at that time.

Before your visit, gather any relevant health information that may help your provider assess your eye health:

Current symptoms (e.g., flashes of light, difficulty seeing at night, double vision, vision loss)
Family history of eye conditions (e.g., glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts)
A list of all medications, including over-the-counter items
History of eye injuries or surgeries (with approximate dates)
Questions about your vision or eye health
Any chronic health conditions, allergies, or recent procedures

What to Bring to Your Appointment

Your current medication list
Your medical or health insurance card
Photo identification
A method of payment for any copay or out-of-pocket costs
