What You’ll Get at Your Exam

Your visit includes more than a basic screening. We take time to evaluate your full visual function and eye health using modern diagnostic tools.

A comprehensive eye exam may involve:

  • Vision testing (refraction) to determine your prescription
  • Eye pressure check to screen for glaucoma
  • Retinal and slit lamp evaluation
  • Prescription updates, if needed
  • Pupil dilation when appropriate
  • Clear guidance on any next steps, such as dry eye relief or surgical referral

You’ll leave knowing exactly how your eyes are doing—and what comes next.

FAQs

Most adults should have a comprehensive eye exam every 1 to 2 years. If you wear glasses or contacts, or have conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye disease, annual exams are recommended. Children, seniors, and patients with existing vision concerns may need more frequent visits.

A vision screening is a quick check—often done at schools or general health visits—to see if you might need glasses. A comprehensive eye exam evaluates your entire visual system and eye health, using specialized tools to check for glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and more. It’s more in-depth and personalized.

Your exam may include:

  • Refraction (to check your glasses/contact lens prescription)
  • Eye pressure measurement (to screen for glaucoma)
  • Slit lamp and retinal exam (to evaluate internal eye health)
  • Pupil dilation (to get a better view of the retina, if needed)
    We also screen for dry eye, astigmatism, and other visual concerns—and explain all findings clearly before you leave.

Not always. Pupil dilation helps us see the back of your eye more clearly and is especially important if you have diabetes, unexplained vision changes, or risk factors for retinal disease. Your provider will decide if dilation is appropriate based on your symptoms and medical history.

Yes. Comprehensive eye exams can reveal signs of systemic health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, autoimmune disorders, and even neurological conditions. Your eyes offer a window into your overall health, which is why routine exams are so important.

If your prescription has changed, we’ll provide your updated prescription during the exam. Our on-site optical team can help you choose from a wide selection of frames and lenses. We also fit and evaluate contact lenses if you’re interested in switching or updating your contacts.

Children should have their first full eye exam around age 3, then again before starting school. After that, exams every 1–2 years are usually sufficient unless issues arise. Early exams can catch vision problems that may affect learning or development.

Schedule an exam if you notice:

  • Blurry or fluctuating vision
  • Eye strain or headaches
  • Trouble reading up close or seeing far away
  • Light sensitivity or eye discomfort
    Even subtle symptoms can point to changes in your vision or overall eye health.

Yes. Many eye diseases—like glaucoma or early-stage macular degeneration—develop without symptoms at first. Regular exams help catch issues early, before they affect your sight. Preventive care is key to long-term vision preservation.

An optometrist (OD) provides routine eye exams, vision correction, and treatment for many common eye conditions. An ophthalmologist (MD or DO) is a medical doctor who can diagnose and treat more complex conditions and perform surgery. At CLS Health, both providers work together to support your complete eye care.
