Seeing an optometrist for annual eye exams helps ensure you see clearly and provides regular eye health monitoring. Many patients enjoy seeing their eye doctor for routine checkups and choosing new frames available for their eyeglasses. Our friendly staff at Livermore Optometry Group in Livermore, CA, and San Francisco, CA, are ready to provide regular eye exams and answer all eye care questions.

Are Eye Exams Important?

Eye exams are essential for identifying eye conditions in the early stages when many of these conditions do not have any apparent signs or symptoms. An annual eye exam is the only way to detect these conditions early. Additionally, routine comprehensive eye exams help ensure you see clearly and, if needed, provide you with an updated vision correction prescription.

Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure or diabetes, can be detected early through comprehensive eye exams.

What Happens during an Eye Exam? 

Comprehensive eye exams typically consist of the same tests, with a few additional tests conducted during a contact lens exam. Our optometrist will also check visual acuity, determining if you have 20/20 vision or need prescription lenses. Finally, we will write an optical prescription for vision correction.

Other tests may include eye focusing, digital retinal imaging, eye pressure test, slit-lamp exam, and ophthalmoscopy.
