Eye Examinations<\/h3>\n

Preparing for Your Eye Exam
\nWhen a person calls to make an eye appointment, he or she should be prepared to describe any current vision problems. In addition, patients should ask if the eye examination will affect their vision temporarily and if they will need someone to drive them home. They may also want to ask about the cost of the exam, if their insurance plan will cover any of the cost, and how payment is handled.<\/p>\n

Before going to the appointment, patients should gather the following information to help answer questions the eye care professional may ask:
\nSymptoms of current eye problems (flashes of light, difficulty seeing at night, temporary double vision, loss of vision, etc.).
\nEye injuries or eye surgeries (approximate dates, where treated).
\nFamily history of eye problems (glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts, etc.).
\nAny questions about their vision, glasses, contacts, laser surgery, etc.
\nA list of all Prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs currently being used.
\nTheir general health condition (allergies, chronic health problems, operations, etc.).<\/p>\n

Patients should also take the following items with them to their eye appointment:
\nGlasses, contact lenses or both.
\nA list of all Prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs currently being taken.
\nMedical or health insurance card.<\/p>\n
