EYE EXAMS AT OUR HAMILTON OPTOMETRY CENTER

An eye exam is a process of checking your eyes for changes and visual concerns. When you understand the process and check your vision regularly, you catch potential problems at an early stage.

Differences Between Eye Exams at Different Ages

Children, adults and seniors have different concerns for their eyes. In a child, the eye exam checks for problems with vision, a lazy eye or difficulty focusing on objects at different distances. An optometrist may also pay attention to the development of a child's vision and identify problems with normal development.

Adult exams check for more complicated problems, like glaucoma or damage to your eyes from lifestyle factors. Adults also face changes to their eyes, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness. An exam checks for changes to the eyes and potential problems with your vision.

In the case of seniors, an eye exam checks for any age-related conditions that may develop over time. Seniors may need more regular exams to check for glaucoma, cataracts or other conditions that may develop with natural aging.

Screening in Eye Exams for Adults and Children

Screening for adults and children differ due to the needs of different groups. In the case of adults, an eye doctor may screen for nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism. Adults have similar screenings, but also have screenings for glaucoma, retinal conditions or cataracts. The specific screenings depend on the individual's situation and any visual changes that occur over the course of a year.
