Eye examinations
Ask about an eye exam.
Call the office about an eye examination, a change in vision, or the appointment that may suit your needs.
Before your visit
Begin with your reason for calling.
At most eye examinations, an optometrist may ask about your eye and vision history and assess your eyes and vision. The details of an individual appointment depend on your circumstances and the optometrist’s assessment.
When you call, it can help to say what prompted you to get in touch—for example, a routine check, a change in vision, or a question about an existing prescription. The office can confirm whether it can schedule a visit and what it would like you to bring.
Important: Every eye examination is personal. Call the office about the appointment that fits your needs.
