Routine Eye Exams at Kings Eye Center

Routine eye exams play a vital role in protecting your vision and identifying eye conditions early. At Kings Eye Center, we recommend scheduling a comprehensive eye exam every year, or as directed by your eye care provider. 

During your visit, our skilled optometrists will perform a series of tests to evaluate your vision and overall eye health, including: 

  • Visual Acuity Test: Determines how clearly you can see at various distances.
  • Refraction Test: Identifies your prescription for glasses or contact lenses to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
  • Eye Muscle Movement Test: Ensures your eyes move properly and work well together. 
  • Visual Field Test: Detects blind spots or peripheral vision issues.
  • Intraocular Pressure Test: Screens for glaucoma by measuring eye pressure.
  • Dilated Eye Exam: Provides a detailed look at the retina and optic nerve.

Maintaining a Good Eye Health

Consistent eye exams are the foundation of long-term visual wellness. Beyond checking your vision, these exams help detect early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration—allowing for early intervention and better outcomes. Eye exams can also reveal underlying health concerns, including diabetes and hypertension, making them an essential part of whole-body health. 

By monitoring changes in your vision and updating your prescription, the experienced team at Kings Eye Center helps you maintain clear, comfortable sight and a high quality of life. Prioritizing annual eye exams is an investment in lifelong eye health and visual clarity.

Frequently Asked Questions

For most adults with no existing eye conditions, a general eye exam is recommended every 1-2 years. However, individuals with certain risk factors or pre-existing eye conditions may need more frequent exams. It’s best to follow your eye care professional’s recommendations based on your specific needs.

No, eye exams are typically painless. You may experience slight discomfort during certain tests, such as the eye pressure test or when eye drops are administered for dilation, but these sensations are temporary and mild.

It’s helpful to bring relevant information such as your medical history, current glasses or contact lenses, and insurance details. You may also want to prepare a list of questions or concerns to discuss with your eye care professional.

During a general eye exam, your eye care professional will conduct various tests to assess your vision and eye health. This may include tests for visual acuity, eye movement, eye pressure, and a dilated eye examination to evaluate the internal structures of your eyes.

The duration of an eye exam can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of your eye health and vision needs. Typically, a comprehensive eye exam may take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour to complete.

Dilation of the pupils with eye drops allows for a more thorough examination of the internal structures of your eyes, including the retina and optic nerve. Your eye care professional will determine if dilation is necessary based on your individual circumstances.

Your vision may be temporarily blurred and you may be more sensitive to light after dilation. It’s advisable to arrange for transportation home after the exam if you anticipate experiencing difficulty driving. How soon will I get the results of my eye exam?

Your eye care professional will discuss the findings of your exam with you at the conclusion of your appointment. They will explain any concerns or recommendations for further evaluation or treatment, if necessary.

If your exam reveals a need for corrective lenses, your eye care professional will discuss your options with you and provide a prescription for glasses or contact lenses, if needed. They can also assist you in selecting the appropriate eyewear based on your prescription and preferences.

Many vision insurance plans cover routine eye exams, but coverage can vary depending on your provider and policy. It’s a good idea to check with your insurance company beforehand to understand your coverage and any associated costs.
