Frequently Asked Questions


How often should I get an eye exam?

The recommended frequency of eye exams varies based on individual factors such as age, overall health, and any existing eye conditions. Generally, children should have regular eye exams, while adults should consider annual check-ups. If you have a family history of eye diseases or experience any vision problems, more frequent exams may be necessary.

What are the signs of vision problems?

People often wonder about early warning signs of vision issues, such as blurry or double vision, headaches, or sensitivity to light.

Can eye exams detect diseases like glaucoma or cataracts?

Yes, eye exams can be crucial for detecting early signs of eye diseases such as glaucoma and cataracts. Regular eye exams can help identify these conditions before they progress and cause significant vision loss.

What can I expect during an eye exam?

An eye exam typically involves several tests, including vision tests, refraction test, field of vision test, color vision test, pupil dilation, and eye pressure checks. 

Do I need a referral to see an optometrist?

In most cases, you do not need a referral from your primary care physician to see an optometrist. However, if you have insurance, it's always a good idea to check with your provider to determine if a referral is required for coverage. Wize Eyes can help you check with your Insurance provider.
