What to Expect at Your Eye Appointment

Your comprehensive eye appointment at North Shore Advanced Eye Care will typically include:

• Medical History Review: Your eye doctor will discuss any medical conditions you have, medications you take, and any family history of eye disease.
• Visual Acuity Test: This classic “eye chart” test measures how well you see at various distances.
• Eye Pressure Test: This checks for glaucoma, a condition where elevated eye pressure damages the optic nerve.
• Refraction Assessment: This determines your eyeglass or contact lens prescription.
• Slit Lamp Examination: This magnified view of the front and back of your eye helps detect cataracts, macular degeneration, and other issues.
