What to Expect During Your Comprehensive Eye Exam at WeCare Eye Group

Regular eye exams are an essential part of maintaining your vision and overall eye health. At WeCare Eye Group, our comprehensive eye exams are designed to evaluate your vision, detect potential problems early, and help you achieve the best possible eyesight. If you’re preparing for your first visit or even if you’re a returning patient, here’s what you can expect during your comprehensive eye exam with us.
 

A Warm Welcome and Detailed Medical History

Your experience at WeCare Eye Group begins with a friendly welcome from our team. We’ll ask you to complete a brief medical history form, including information about your general health, medications, family history of eye conditions, and any current vision concerns. Understanding your background allows our doctors to personalize your care and look for any signs of hereditary or systemic conditions that can impact your eyes.
 

Visual Acuity Testing

One of the first steps in your eye exam is a visual acuity test, where you’ll read from an eye chart to determine how clearly you see at various distances. This helps us assess whether you need corrective lenses or an updated prescription.
 

Refraction and Prescription Assessment

If you wear glasses or contact lenses, or if you suspect you might need them, we will perform a refraction test. This process identifies the precise lens prescription that gives you the sharpest vision. You will look through a series of lenses and let us know which ones help you see most clearly.
 

Eye Health Evaluation

A comprehensive eye exam is about much more than just your prescription. Our optometrists will thoroughly examine the structures of your eyes, including your cornea, retina, lens, and optic nerve. Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we’ll check for signs of eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration.

To screen for glaucoma, we measure the pressure inside your eyes. This test is quick and painless, helping us detect issues early when they are most treatable.
 

Review Results and Next Steps

Once your exam is complete, your doctor will review the results with you, discuss any findings, and answer your questions. If you need a new prescription, we’ll guide you through your eyewear options. If any issues are detected, we’ll explain your treatment options and work with you to create a plan for ongoing care.
