How often should I have an eye exam?

Most adults benefit from an eye exam every one to two years. People with risk factors like diabetes, a family history of eye disease, or contact lens use may need more frequent checkups, and children or seniors may follow different schedules based on their needs.

What should I bring to my eye appointment?

Bring your current glasses or contact lenses, a list of your medications, your insurance card, and any notes about vision changes or symptoms.

Will my eye exam hurt?

A standard eye exam is usually painless. Some tests use bright lights or a short puff of air, which can feel unusual but should not be painful.

Why is my vision blurry?

Blurry vision can result from refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism, but may also be due to dry eyes, cataracts, or other eye conditions. A comprehensive eye exam will help identify the cause.

Can I wear contact lenses?

Many people can safely wear contact lenses, but certain eye shapes or eye health concerns may affect suitability. During your visit the doctor will recommend the best option.

How can I reduce eye strain from screens?

Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Adjust screen brightness, maintain comfortable viewing distance, and ensure good lighting.

Chemical exposure with pain, redness, or blurred vision
Sudden vision loss or significant changes in eyesight

Basic First Aid Tips Before You Reach Us

While professional care is irreplaceable in an emergency, these steps can help manage your symptoms safely until you get to Real Vision Center:
- Chemical exposure: Flush your eyes with clean water for at least 15 minutes. Do not cover the eye.
- Foreign objects: Avoid rubbing. Rinse gently with water to remove debris if possible.
- Eye trauma or impact: Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling.
- Puncture wounds: Cover the eye carefully without applying pressure. If an object is stuck in your eye, stabilize it using a foam cup or similar shield. Do not rinse or remove the object.
