HOW DOES MY VISION CHANGE WITH AGE?

Accepted Answer

As we age, changes to our vision are common, such as smaller pupil size, dry eyes, loss of peripheral vision, reduced color perception, and vitreous detachment. One of the most common age-related vision issues is presbyopia, which is the gradual and inevitable loss of the ability to focus. Various lenses can help manage presbyopia. The risk of developing conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy also increases with age. Your optometrist will review any age-related vision changes you're experiencing during your annual eye exam.

Question 13

WHO CAN WEAR CONTACT LENSES?

Accepted Answer

Almost anyone who requires vision correction can wear contact lenses. They can correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or a combination of these issues. Finding the ideal lens may involve some trial and error, as the perfect lens combination is determined only after you’ve tried them out. Schedule an eye exam to discuss with your optometrist if contact lenses are the right vision correction option for you.

Question 14

IS A CONTACT LENS EXAM DIFFERENT THAN AN EYE EXAM?

Accepted Answer

A standard eye exam will allow your optometrist to determine if your eyes are healthy enough to wear contact lenses. During the contact lens fitting process, measurements of your eyes will be taken to identify the most suitable contact lenses for you. Please note, there may be an additional charge for the contact lens fitting and evaluation for all contact lens wearers, for new or existing patients. Give us a call if you have any questions about cost or insurance.  Book your eye exam today!

Question 15

WHAT IS A REFRACTION TEST?

Accepted Answer

During a refraction test, your optometrist determines your precise eyeglass prescription. By presenting a series of lens options through a device called a phoropter, your optometrist identifies the degree of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and/or astigmatism you have, and determines the lenses required to correct these vision issues.
