How to Prepare for an Eye Exam

A routine eye exam is one of the most important aspects of eye health. If you have an upcoming eye exam, being properly prepared for your visit is essential. Dr. Philip Dixon, O.D. is an eye doctor in Reedley, CA, who provides patients professional and personalized care. Here are a few things to consider before your next appointment.

What You Should Expect from an Eye Exam 

Knowing what to expect at an upcoming visit can alleviate any concerns you may have. Annual exams are essential to understand the overall health of your eyes, update prescriptions, and provide treatment if necessary. In addition, no two patients are alike, so it's essential to feel comfortable discussing current issues you may be experiencing.

How Do I Prepare for an Eye Exam? 

The following steps are recommended before a visit to our eye clinic:

  • Know as much as possible about your overall health, family history of eye diseases, and know what medications you're currently taking.
  • Wear your current eyeglasses or contact lenses.
  • Bring up-to-date insurance information or medical coverage.
  • Be ready to discuss problems you're having with your vision.

Eye Exams Are Important 

Age-related conditions such as macular degeneration, cataracts, and glaucoma have no early warning signs. As you get older, you should have regular visits to our eye doctor. We can diagnose eye-related issues early on before symptoms set in to ensure the condition is properly managed.
