What to Expect at Your Comprehensive Eye Exam?

Most comprehensive eye exams take about 30 to 45 minutes. Here is what usually happens:

  1. Health history. We ask about your vision, symptoms, medications, family history and any health conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

  2. Vision testing. We measure how clearly you see at distance and up close.

  3. Prescription check (refraction). We find the lens prescription that gives you the sharpest, most comfortable vision.

  4. Eye health evaluation. We examine the front and back of your eyes, including the retina and optic nerve, and screen for glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease.

  5. Dilation, if needed. Dilation depends on your age, risk factors and exam history. We explain whether it is recommended and what to expect.

  6. Your results and next steps. Your optometrist explains the findings, answers your questions, and recommends glasses, contact lenses, treatment or follow-up as needed.

We specialize in detecting and managing conditions such as:

  • Nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism

  • Presbyopia and age-related vision changes

  • Glaucoma and ocular hypertension

  • Cataracts and macular degeneration

  • Diabetic retinopathy and retinal disorders

  • Dry eye syndrome and eye allergies

If you have dry, itchy or irritated eyes, see our dry eye treatments.

Eye Exams for the Whole Family

  • Children. Vision problems can affect learning, reading and sports. Regular exams help catch problems early.

  • Adults. Most adults should have a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years, even without symptoms. Many eye conditions have no early warning signs.

  • Seniors. The risk of cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration rises with age, so regular exams are important.

  • People with diabetes or a family history of eye disease. Annual exams are recommended.

  • Screen users. If you get headaches, tired eyes or blurred vision after long hours on screens, an exam can find the cause.

Pediatric Eye Exams in Staten Island

Healthy vision is important for learning and development. We provide eye exams for children and can check for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and how well the eyes work together.

Book an exam if your child:

  • Squints, rubs their eyes or sits very close to screens or the board

  • Complains of headaches or tired eyes

  • Has trouble reading or keeping up at school

  • Has a family history of eye problems

What to Bring to Your Eye Exam

  • Your current glasses and contact lenses (and the box or prescription, if you have it)

  • Your insurance cards and photo ID

  • A list of medications and supplements

  • Information about any eye or health conditions, including family history
