Comprehensive Eye Exam
 This allows us to provide our patients with the most thorough, comprehensive eye examinations available.
Routine eye exams are very important to monitor the health of your eye as well as to determine your need for glasses. Some eye diseases such as glaucoma, which have no early warnings, can only be detected with a thorough eye exam. This is why it is important to have your eyes examined every 1- 2 years.
Your eye exam will take approximately ½ to 1 ½ hours. Your eyes will be dilated which means your near vision may be fuzzy for about 3 -4 hours. They will also be sensitive to light. It's a good idea to bring your sunglasses with you or we can provide you with some disposable ones if needed. Also we ask that you please bring any prescription glasses, such as computer or reading glasses, with you to your exam.
Your eye exam will include the following:
- Complete medical history
- History of any eye problems
- Visual acuity at both distance and near
- Pupil check
- Confrontation visual fields
- Extraocular muscle evaluation
- Refraction
- Intraocular pressure reading
- Dilation
- Examination of the front part of your eye using the slit lamp microscope
- Examination of the retina inside of your eye including the retina and optic nerve
Other tests may be done if your doctor deems it necessary.
After all tests are performed and evaluated, your doctor will explain the findings and make recommendations to help maintain the health of your eyes. We will address any of your concerns and take time to answer your questions that you may have about your eyes or vision. At Riemer Eye Center we believe outstanding customer service and personalized care are an essential part of any eye exam. |
