Eye Exams From Dr. Dennis

Regular eye exams are critical for your healthy eyes, no matter how old you are. Putting off an eye appointment for years at a time is potentially harmful to your eye's health. During a comprehensive eye exam, Dr. Dennis can help determine the correct prescription for your eyeglasses or contact lenses. Also, he can complete several tests to identify any possible eye conditions. Individuals who need a trusted professional for eye care needs in Murfreesboro, TN, put their trust in Dennis Eye Care.

What Does An Eye Exam Include? 

A full eye exam includes a few crucial tests to evaluate the health of your eye. You would be reading eye charts as well as having the doctor look into the back of your eye. Also, he would be looking for any early indicators for eye conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Other parts of the eye exam will include:

• A discussion with the doctor about your family's eye history
• Muscle functioning in the eyes
• Vision tests to determine nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and depth perception
• Fitting for new eyeglasses or contact lenses

How Should I Prepare For My Eye Exam?

Be prepared to discuss any vision problems you may have as well as changes in your eyesight. You should call your insurance company to understand copayments and to see the percentage they pay for new frames. It's essential to have some vital information like the history of any eye surgeries, any current issues you are experiencing, prescriptions you're taking, and the overall state of your general health. Dr. Dennis takes all of this into consideration when he has a consultation with every patient.

Once an examination is complete, our doctor will go over the specifics with you. We can discuss your preferences for contact lenses or eyeglasses as well as go over any necessary medications. Most experts agree that you should have a thorough eye exam every year. It is even more important for individuals over the age of 40 who are at risk for age-related eye conditions.
