Do you have eye exam questions? We have answers.

1. How often should I get an eye exam?

4. Do I need an eye exam if I have perfect vision?

5. Will my eyes be dilated during an exam?
   Eye dilation is often part of a comprehensive exam, allowing the doctor to check the back of your eye (retina). It's recommended for detecting serious conditions but can sometimes be skipped or replaced with imaging technology.
    

6. What’s the difference between an optometrist and an ophthalmologist?
