Is it time for an eye exam? There are a few things you can do to prepare yourself. By knowing what to expect and following the doctor's instructions, you will be able to get the most accurate results from your exam. In this article, we would like to discuss some tips on preparing for an eye exam from H. Arnold Papernick OD in Mt. Pleasant, PA.

What Happens At An Eye Exam?

It is vital to be clear about what happens during your eye exam. Our eye doctor will likely start by asking about your medical history and any vision problems you may be experiencing. Then, we will conduct a series of tests to assess your vision and the health of your eyes. These tests may include checking your visual acuity, measuring the pressure inside your eyes, and examining your retina.

Bring Your Current Prescription

If you currently wear glasses or contact lenses, be sure to bring your current prescription with you to your eye exam. This will help us determine if your vision has changed since your last exam and whether it is time to update your prescription.

Create a List of Questions or Concerns

Do you have any questions or concerns about your vision? If so, be sure to write them down before your eye exam. This will help you remember to ask the doctor during your appointment. It is also good to know about your family history of eye conditions and other health-related issues that could impact your vision.

Screening for Common Eye Health Conditions

We will also screen for common eye health conditions during your eye exam. These conditions include glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. If any of these conditions are found during your exam, we will provide you with treatment options.
