How to Prepare for an Eye Exam

It is our goal that your eye care appointment goes as smoothly as possible. Bringing all of your necessary documentation and thinking about any questions or concerns you have is a good starting point. At Stine Eye Center in Weston, we have a few tips to help you prepare for your next eye exam.

1. Bring Identification and Your Insurance Information

We always recommend having your up-to-date insurance coverage along with an appropriate government-issued I.D. such as a driver's license.

2. A Log of Any Symptoms or Concerns

If you have been experiencing any issues with your eyes like blurred vision, headaches, or difficulty seeing at night, you will want to share this information with our eye doctors. Our optometrists will use this information to help determine the cause of your symptoms.

3. A List of Medications You Are Currently Taking

It is essential to let us know of any medications you are taking, whether they are over the counter or if you have a prescription. We will review your current medications and see what impact they might have on your vision.

4. Know Your Family History of Eye Diseases

A family history of eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and others can affect your vision. Our optometrist can better assess your risk and provide appropriate treatments moving forward with this information.

5. Bring Your Current Eyeglasses and Contacts

You need to bring your current method of vision correction to determine if your prescription needs to be adjusted. We can also discuss if you would like a new pair of frames or if you are considering contact lenses for the first time, or even if you need specialty lenses.
