Regular comprehensive eye exams are crucial for maintaining good vision and overall health. These exams can detect early signs of eye diseases, such as glaucoma and macular degeneration, that often have no noticeable symptoms. By detecting these issues early, appropriate treatments can be administered to prevent vision loss. Additionally, eye exams can also uncover underlying health conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. Remember, proactive eye care through regular exams is key to preserving your vision and well-being.
Why is a comprehensive eye exam important?
The American Optometric Association recommends that low-risk patients adhere to these guidelines at a minimum:
Adults ages 18 and up should have an eye exam yearly.

What to expect during an eye exam?
During an eye exam at C.H. Optometric Associates, you can expect a series of tests to evaluate your vision and overall eye health. This typically includes a visual acuity test, refraction assessment, eye muscle coordination evaluation, and examination of the internal and external parts of the eye. The duration of an eye exam can vary depending on the tests needed, but it usually takes around 30 to 60 minutes to complete. Our team of experienced optometrists will guide you through each step of the process to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of your eyesight.
