What to Expect During Your Eye Exam

Getting an eye exam is a relatively simple procedure, taking approximately half an hour to complete. If your eyes require dilation, your appointment could take about an hour. Here's an overview of a typical eye examination test at Lens R Us.

01

Medical History & Contact Information

Your eye exam will start with a comprehensive review of your medical history and current health. This will allow the doctor to fully understand your unique needs and concerns. Additionally, our team will work with you to verify your vision benefits to make sure you get the most out of your coverage.

02

Prescreening

Our comprehensive eye exam includes a prescreening process to determine your current prescription and establish a baseline. The doctor will also measure the shape of your cornea and eye, as well as take images of your retinas. We offer retinal imaging that does not require dilation, but please note that if you choose to visit one of our other locations, dilation may temporarily affect your vision and you may need a ride home.
