What to Expect During an Eye Exam

At Complete Family Eyecare & Optique in Cumming, GA, we believe that regular eye exams are essential to maintaining healthy vision. Whether you are visiting for a routine checkup or experiencing vision concerns, our team is committed to providing you with a thorough and comfortable experience. Here's what you can expect during your eye exam.

Initial Consultation

Your eye exam will begin with a discussion about your medical history, lifestyle, and any vision issues you may have. This helps our optometrists understand your unique needs and determine the best course of action for your exam. You will also be asked about any family history of eye conditions.

Visual Acuity Test

One of the first tests you’ll undergo is the visual acuity test. You will be asked to read letters or numbers from an eye chart at various distances to check how clearly you can see. This helps determine if you need corrective lenses such as glasses or contact lenses.

Eye Movement and Coordination Tests

To ensure your eyes work well together, we will evaluate your eye movements and coordination. This involves following a target with your eyes to check for issues like strabismus or other alignment problems that may affect your vision.

Intraocular Pressure Test

Our optometrists will assess the pressure inside your eyes to check for early signs of glaucoma. The procedure is quick, painless, and involves a gentle puff of air directed at your eye. Glaucoma can cause serious damage to the optic nerve, so early detection is crucial.

Comprehensive Eye Health Evaluation

We’ll then evaluate you overall eye health using special instruments. The process may involve pupil dilation to get a better view of the retina and optic nerve. This step helps us identify early signs of conditions like cataracts, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy.
