Frequently Asked Questions
When should I see an ophthalmologist?
You should see an ophthalmologist if you experience vision changes, eye pain, floaters, flashes of light, eye injuries, or symptoms of an eye disease such as glaucoma, cataracts, or macular degeneration. Routine visits are also essential for people with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye disease.
How often should I have an eye exam?
- Adults 40-64: Every one to three years to check for age-related conditions.
- Adults 65+: Every one to two years or as your doctor recommends.
- Anyone with diabetes, a family history of eye disease, or vision problems: Annually or as directed.
What happens during a comprehensive eye exam?
A comprehensive eye exam includes:
- Vision testing (refraction for glasses/contacts)
- Eye pressure measurement (glaucoma screening)
- Retinal examination (dilated eye exam)
