Contact Lenses in Fairfax, VA – Importance of Eye Exams

Regardless of your age or physical condition, our optometrist recommends a regular eye exam to evaluate your eye health. During your exam, our optometrist will evaluate the health of your eyes with tests with diagnostic equipment. Our expert for contact lenses in Fairfax, VA, explains what you can expect during your eye exam below.

Prescription Evaluation

This test involves refracting your eyes to determine your eyeglass or contact lens prescription. To find the perfect prescription for you, our doctor uses computerized equipment to obtain various measurements of your eyes. These measurements will help our optometrist understand how your eyes function in different environments.

Visual Analysis

To assess the quality of your vision, we will measure:

Your depth perception
Your ability to focus on both near and distant objects
The external and internal parts of the eyes

We will also screen you for common eye diseases and evaluate your overall eye health. Our doctor may dilate your pupils for some of these tests.

Disease & Vision Testing

Another test will measure your peripheral vision (the ability to see movement and motion out of the corner of your eye while looking straight). This can help assess the health of your optic nerve. Using a tonometry device (a puff of air), we will also measure your eye pressure to detect signs of glaucoma, and obtain advanced digital images of the back of your eye to check for diabetes complications and macular degeneration. Through this combination of tests, we will have insight into your eye health and our doctor will be able to treat you effectively!

I went in for a contact lens exam. The optometrist was great. Very knowledgeable. Took the time to educate me on visual acuity. Was a great resource from a Physician's standpoint.

Will return next week to let him know things worked out well and will try another brand of lens!- Naheed M. best-ashburn-arlington-woodbrifge-fairfax-springfield-vienna-va-optometry

Excellent and attentive!

I've never had such a positive experience at an eye provider. I would highly recommend them!- Melanie F. best-ashburn-arlington-woodbrifge-fairfax-springfield-vienna-va-optometry

"Excellent doctor's office. Everyone is polite and whether you're speaking with the doctor or selecting new frames, you can take your time and they will help you make the best decision for you. They do not try to sell you expensive items you don't need - which happened to me at one of the chain optometrists in the area. Definitely recommend."- Brookes C. best-ashburn-arlington-woodbrifge-fairfax-springfield-vienna-va-optometry
