What is "Dilation": Do I have to do it?
Dilation is not absolutely necessary with every eye exam, but it is highly recommended, especially if you have certain visual symptoms or systemic diseases such as diabetes. A dilated eye exam is an important part of a comprehensive evaluation of the health of the eye. During this portion of the exam, we'll measure your eye pressure and use drops that will allow the doctor to see posterior structures of the eye. This deeper examination will take an additional 20-30 minutes. You may experience light sensitivity and blurry vision for about four hours after eye dilation, so we recommend bringing a driver.
Do I get a prescription for glasses if I get a contact lens exam?
Yes, all contact lenses eye exams come with a comprehensive exam that also includes a prescription for glasses.
What if the prescription is wrong?
During your eye exam we take extra time and care to ensure that the prescription you have on hand is the most comfortable and suitable for you and your needs. When a new prescription is received or an update is made, most patients typically take a few weeks to adjust to the change. Younger patients or fast learners can adapt to new glasses more quickly. In some cases when a medical condition causes your prescription to change rapidly or the prescription is not to your satisfaction we will accommodate your needs within 30 days from your visit.

What is the difference between an eye exam for glasses vs contact lens?
All eye exams begin with a comprehensive exam that includes a prescription for glasses. Contact lens exam requires the Optometrist or Opthamologist to transpose your prescription to accomodate an optimized and comfortable contact lens experience. Your contact lens prescription considers for comfort, vision, and daily tasks. Contact lens eye exams usually require a follow up exam for patients new to contacts lenses and patients that are experiencing a change in prescription. Depending on the prescriptions, some contact lens exams and contact lens type, some contact lens exams may require multiple visits to assure patient needs are met. Some first-time or beginners to contact lenses may need several training sessions.
