What To Expect During Your Yearly Eye Exam
At Focal Pointe Eye Care, we strive to provide the most comprehensive and
in-depth eye exam to every patient we see. During your exam, you may be presented with tests and assessments that might seem unfamiliar to you. Every step is an important part of the process, so please allow 1-1.5 hours for your visit. This will serve as your guide to walk you through the steps that help you look and see your best!

Be Prepared to Answer Questions About:
- Medical history: Many systemic conditions can cause complications to the eye.
- Eye history: Many eye diseases are chronic and worsen with time, so it is important we know any prior mention of eye diseases, conditions, or injuries.
- Family history: Many eye and systemic conditions are genetic. It is important for the doctor to understand your background to ensure your long-term health.
- Hobbies: We want to help you see your best and ensure your eyes are protected while doing the things you love.

- Review all screening tests performed earlier in the visit.
