Early Detection

Routine eye exams can help detect vision problems early when they are most treatable. Common eye problems like glaucoma, diabetes and high blood pressure can all have an impact on vision. Many eye issues have no early warning signs and it can often be too late once the issue is detected. Regular eye exams are even more critical if you have a family history of health problems.
 

How Often Should You Get an Eye Exam?

At Orange County Vision Center, we recommend having a yearly eye exam. If you are over the age of 40 or you're at risk for vision issues, you should always schedule a yearly exam. Children should also have regular eye exams since a lot can change within a year.
 

What Happens During an Eye Exam?

The first step is to check your vision and ask questions about your family history. Then, we will go over the various tests we will perform during the exam. These tests include refraction, where we will determine your prescription and make sure your new glasses or contacts will provide the best possible vision. Other vision tests include visual field tests, color vision, slit-lamp exams, retinal exams, and glaucoma screenings. An eye exam at our office takes approximately one hour.
