5 Essential Eye Exam Tips

Published on August 19, 2025

Regular eye exams are crucial for maintaining good vision and overall health. At Truvista Eye Hospital, we recommend scheduling an exam at least once a year. Here are five essential tips to make the most of your visit:

1. Prepare in Advance

Bring your current glasses or contact lenses, a list of medications, and any symptoms you’ve noticed. This helps your ophthalmologist provide a thorough assessment.

2. Understand the Process

Expect tests like visual acuity, eye pressure checks, and retinal imaging. Knowing what’s involved can ease any anxiety and ensure you ask the right questions.

3. Discuss Your Lifestyle

Share details about your screen time, outdoor activities, or family history of eye conditions. This helps tailor the exam to your needs.

4. Follow Up

After your exam, follow your doctor’s advice on treatment or follow-up visits. Early detection can prevent serious issues like glaucoma or cataracts.

5. Stay Consistent

Make eye exams a regular part of your healthcare routine. At Truvista, we’re here to support your vision health every step of the way.
