At Legacy Optical in Hampton Bays, we strive to create a personalized experience for every client we serve. Whether you've had many eye exams or it's been a while since your last one, you might be curious about what actually happens during an eye exam. We're here to explain the process in a little more detail to give you greater peace of mind.
Many individuals who visit us for an exam wonder what an optometrist does. During an eye exam, tests are conducted to evaluate the health of your eyes, check the ability of your eyes to work together as a team, and assess your vision. If you need a pair of glasses or contact lenses, a prescription will also be determined during the exam.
Eye diseases are something you should be concerned about, especially as you age. For example, glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration can all be detected during an exam. If an eye disease is diagnosed earlier, you have a better chance of controlling and slowing its progression. Here are some of the tests that will be used to assess your ocular health:
If you're over 18, you should have an eye exam at least every two years. People who have complications or a family history of eye disease may need to have their eyes checked more frequently. It's important to follow our optometrist's advice regarding frequent exams if you know you have pre-existing conditions.
We always welcome patients to get their eyes checked. If it's been too long since your last appointment, our team is eager to help. Call us today at (631) 728-3132 to schedule an eye exam.
