How to Prepare for an Eye Exam

Having your eyes examined as often as needed can be an important part of eye care. These exams can help ensure that eye problems or diseases are caught early. You can also have eyeglass or contact lens prescriptions updated to correct your vision. When you have an eye exam set up with our eye doctor, you might not know what to expect or how to prepare for it. At Precision Optometry in Rocklin, CA, our optometrist on our optometry team is here to help you get the eye care you need.

Bring Current Glasses and Contacts

Make sure you have your current eyeglasses and contact lenses with you. Bringing these helps our eye doctor know what type of glasses or contacts you have. If you have any problems with your glasses or contacts, such as how they fit, let our optometrist know during your appointment.

Bring a Pair of Sunglasses

Eye exams might involve having your eyes dilated. This can make you more sensitive to sunlight and glare temporarily. Having a pair of sunglasses with you can help ease this discomfort when you leave our office.

Bring a List of Current Medications

Knowing what your current medications are, including prescription and nonprescription, can be important. If you need any medication for eye conditions or diseases, we may need this information to make sure there are no potential drug interactions.

Learn about Your Family Medical History

Let us know if any eye diseases or other diseases that can affect vision, such as diabetes, run in your family. Our eye care professionals use this information to determine your own risk of eye problems.

Bring Your Insurance Information

Haveyour insurance information handy at your appointment. This helps ensure that we are able to submit claims to your health insurance company for your visit.
