Why Are Eye Exams
Necessary?

Regular eye exams play a vital role in detecting changes in vision and identifying underlying health conditions that may not be noticeable without a professional screening.

Many eye diseases and conditions, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, often have no early symptoms, making it essential to schedule routine exams for early detection and treatment.

How Often Are Eye Exams Recommended?

At Third Avenue Eyecare, we recommend yearly eye exams for adults to monitor vision changes, detect early signs of eye disease, and keep your prescriptions current.

Eye exams become even more important for seniors as the risk of age-related conditions increases with time. We follow guidelines from the American Optometric Association (AOA) so that seniors get the care they need, which typically includes more frequent exams as they age.

What to Expect During Your Eye Exam

During your exam, we take the time to understand your visual needs and any concerns you may have. Our tech-savvy approach combines diagnostic tools with personal attention to create a great experience. Here’s an overview of what you can expect:

Comprehensive vision testing: We assess your visual acuity, focusing on both near and far vision to help you see clearly.
Eye health screening: We check for common eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration.
Prescription update: We evaluate if you need glasses or contacts and provide prescriptions tailored to your needs.
Personalized care: We discuss your lifestyle and vision goals to recommend the best solutions for you, including eyewear or contact lenses.

What Your Eye Exam Includes

A typical eye exam at Third Avenue Eyecare will include:

Visual acuity testing: Checking how well you see at different distances
Refraction test: To determine your glasses or contact lens prescription
Eye health screening: We use technology, such as digital retinal imaging, to screen for diseases like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration
Intraocular pressure measurement: To screen for glaucoma

How to Prepare for Your Eye Exam

Preparing for your eye exam is simple. If you are scheduled for a dilation, please note that your vision may be blurry for a few hours following the exam, so it’s recommended that you bring sunglasses to protect your eyes from bright lights. You can also arrange for transportation if needed.

Once you arrive for your exam, our team will walk you through any paperwork you may need and get you ready to see your optometrist.
