How can I prepare for an eye exam and what can I expect during the exam?
When you contact us to schedule an appointment let us know about any vision problems you are having. Your eye exam will be performed by a licensed Optometrist NYC. Before the exam your medical and vision history will be taken. Your eye exam may take from half an hour to an hour. You will be evaluated to determine the vision and the health of your eyes. The evaluation can also help to detect other health issues. Your pupils will be dilated for the exam. Be sure to bring sunglasses with you for your trip home.
