Questions about the exam
How often should I have an exam?
It depends on your age, your health and your family history. The doctor tells you at your visit.
Will my eyes be dilated?
Sometimes. If it is needed, the doctor explains first and tells you how to plan your day.
Can I see fine and still need an exam?
Yes. Some eye problems don't show at first, and an exam can find them.
