What is a Comprehensive Eye Exam?

Comprehensive eye exams are conducted by ophthalmologists and optometrists to assess your overall ocular health. Generally, comprehensive eye exams should be conducted annually unless otherwise specified by a qualified provider. Age, family history, health conditions, and other factors affect the frequency each individual needs to see their eye doctor.

Many people think of a vision (glasses or contact lens) exam as a comprehensive eye exam. Glasses or contact lens prescriptions do not reflect the health of the eyes and must be accompanied by a thorough internal examination of each eye while dilated to assess ocular health. Do not cheat yourself or your family of having the most comprehensive exam performed by a capable clinician.
