Regular Eye Tests Are
Essential To Your Healthy Sight.
It’s essential, too, that you make the most out of your
eye tests. We’ve included a range of questions for you to ask during your next eye
test, or if necessary, before your test to avoid any miscommunication. We hope
you find these helpful and that the information contained in My Glasses Guide
will help to facilitate a comprehensive and informed dialogue between you
and your eyecare professional.
Before your eye test…
- Do you accept my health insurance coverage?
- Is payment required at the time of service?
- What will my eye test entail?
- How long should I expect to be there?
- Will my pupils be dilated?
- What should I bring with me?
At your eye test…
- Given my age, eye condition and other risk factors, how often should I have my
eyes examined?
- At what age should I start to schedule my children for regular eye tests?
- What lens designs and options are a good fit for me?
- Can my glasses block UV rays?
- Do all sunglasses protect my eyes from UV rays?
- What are photochromic lenses and are they a good option for me?
