Breaking Down the Typical Eye Exam

Has it been a while since you last saw your eye doctor for an eye exam near Londonderry and Windham? If so, you may be wondering what to expect from a typical eye exam. Watch this video for a breakdown of the examination process.

An eye exam will first begin with a review of your medical history—not just a history of your eye health! This data is critical because many medical problems can influence your eye care. After that, your eye doctor will check your peripheral vision, depth perception, and color vision. He or she will also use computerized tools to check eye focus and pressure. Finally, your eye doctor will speak to you about any problems or changes that are taking place in your eyes. If you need glasses or contacts, your doctor will also help you find the best prescription to enhance your vision.
