If you are thinking that eye examinations are only for people with poor vision, then you are absolutely wrong. We believe that our vision is fine until a visit to the doctor reveals a true situation. An annual eye check-up is necessary to know whether you are suffering from any eye problem before you witness any serious symptom.
Your eye doctor needs to know about your previous history of any allergies, medications or supplements you take, a general update about anyone having eye diseases in your family. The ophthalmologist can easily identify diabetes, glaucoma, high blood pressure and other problems and will recommend you to do a follow up with your physician. You must prepare a list of questions to know about your eye health and ask whether it is right to wear contact lenses on your first visit.
You will be made to read random letters to check your distance and the close vision. The side vision, color recognition shall also be checked. The eye doctor can also use drops to dilate your pupils, which can make eyes light sensitive and caused blurred vision for some time. You need to understand your expectations from the Surgery. Are they realistic? Discuss all the pros and cons in detail with the Surgeon.
