Eye health and ongoing care

Some eye conditions can develop without obvious symptoms. An examination helps your doctor assess your eye health and decide whether monitoring, further testing or a specialist referral is needed.

Bring previous eye-care records and a medication list. Ask what the findings mean, what to watch for and when to return.
