Testing for More than 20/20 Vision:

The clarity of your sight (referred to as 20/20 vision) is only one of our many concerns. Depth perception, eye movement skills, ability to focus easily from near to far and back again, focus endurance for near-centered tasks, color vision, and visual fields are among the many visual skills which are tested.

Vision Exams for Children:

The American Optometric Association recommends that every child should have an examination at 6 months of age, age 3, age 5, and every year thereafter, or at an interval recommended by the doctor. A pediatric eye exam should test all aspects of normal, healthy vision.

Vision Exams for Adults:

The American Optometric Association recommends that adults be examined at least every two years, or more frequently if there is a risk or family history of certain systemic diseases (such as high blood pressure or diabetes) or eye diseases (such as glaucoma). A thorough vision evaluation and follow-up care on a regular basis are very important for early detection and treatment of eye health problems and for prevention of vision problems created by or aggravated by today's academic and vocational demands. Your vision should be evaluated every year or more frequently if symptoms of vision problems occur.

It can be important to take into account any extreme stresses which are being put upon one's visual system. Our modern world demands more from our vision than ever before. Many adults in our technological society constantly use their near vision at work and at home. 80 percent of all school learning tasks require close-up vision. Be sure to describe any extreme visual demands to the doctor during the examination.
