What to Expect at Your First Optometry Appointment

Taking charge of your eye health can be important and scheduling your first optometry appointment is an important step. Whether you're experiencing vision changes, haven't had an eye exam in years, or simply want to establish baseline care, we at Vision Source Fredericksburg Road in San Antonio, TX, are ready to guide you.

Initial Consultation and Family History

Your first appointment will likely begin with a conversation. Prepare to discuss your current vision concerns, medical history, and family history of eye conditions. Be open and honest with our optometrist; the more information we have, the better we can tailor your exam and care plan.

General Eye Examination

Next may be an eye exam. This may involve:

●          Visual acuity test: The familiar eye chart assesses your ability to see letters and symbols at various distances.

●         Eye pressure test: A painless puff of air measures your intraocular pressure, crucial for detecting glaucoma.

●          Dilated eye exam: Drops dilate your pupils for a closer look at your retina, optic nerve, and other internal structures.

Discussion and Next Steps

Following the exam, our optometrist will discuss his findings and recommendations. This may include:

●          A prescription for glasses or contact lenses, if needed.

●          Treatment options for any diagnosed eye conditions.

●          Recommendations for preventative care and follow-up appointments.
