Eye exams in Houston

Phoropter used in vision testing

An eye exam checks more than your glasses prescription. It can also help your doctor look for eye-health changes that you may not have noticed.

Tell us about changes in your vision, your eye-health history and any questions you want to discuss. Bring your current glasses or contact-lens details and a medication list.

Your doctor will explain which checks you need and when to return. If dilation is planned, ask about temporary light sensitivity and arranging a ride home.
