Undergoing an eye exam is necessary to detect some vision problems in their early stages.
An eye exam is used to verify that our eyes are healthy. In other words, its task is to rule out that we are suffering from some kind of problem.
Among the most frequent, we find: myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and cataracts. But what else should we know about this exam?
If we have never had an eye exam we may be nervous or expectant about what may happen. It is something quite simple, which does not involve any difficulty. Let’s see, however, what happens during an eye exam.
How an eye exam is performed
We can have an eye exam with an ophthalmologist or optometrist. Our recommendation is that it be done with the doctor the first time.
Unlike the optometrist, the ophthalmologist will dilate our pupils with a few drops that will tell us to put it in our eyes. This will allow you to see in depth how the eye is. Needless to say, this procedure is completely painless.
The only consequence of the moment when our pupils dilate is that we will see blurry for a few hours afterwards. When our pupils return to normal, then, we will regain our normal vision.
