A comprehensive eye exam is an integral part of your preventive eye care. Dr. Lovero can keep up to date with your eye health and ensure your eyes are healthy and functioning correctly.
Your eyes are a surprisingly significant indicator of your overall health, even showing signs of diabetes by the appearance of delicate blood vessels and other structures in the eye. Your eyes can also indicate high blood pressure and a risk of stroke.
During an eye exam, Dr. Lovero can also write your current prescription. Eye exams are performed by a licensed eye doctor to evaluate visual acuity, eye health, and present any treatment options to improve or correct vision problems.
Today, men and women of all ages are exposed to blue light from digital screens that can cause harm to our eyes. Regular eye exams help Dr. Lovero choose the best preventive methods to protect your eyes from harmful blue light rays.
At your eye exam, you’ll discuss your medical and vision history and likely have several tests, including:
There’s also refraction testing using a machine to show different lenses, and a slit lamp test to light up the front and back of your eye. You may also receive a retinal examination where your pupils will be dilated, and a special tool will be used to see the back of your eye.
Annual eye exams are recommended unless you have eye health complications that may require more frequent monitoring.
