Comprehensive eye exam
What a yearly exam covers
Dr. Meijer checks how well you see, how your eyes work together and the health of the eye itself. Every member of a household plan has one each plan year.
Your current glasses or contact lenses are measured
Your eye pressure and the front and back of each eye are checked
Dr. Meijer explains what he finds and what it means for you
You leave with a copy of your prescription
The visit
What happens, step by step
- 01
Check-in and history
Liz confirms your benefits and plan. Tom asks about your glasses, your work and how your eyes feel day to day.
- 02
Pre-test
Tom runs the instruments that measure your eyes. Nothing touches your eye.
- 03
The exam
Dr. Meijer compares lenses, checks eye health and talks through results.
- 04
Glasses or contacts, if needed
Lisandra shows you frames and lenses. You get a written estimate before anything is ordered.
A first visit takes about 45 minutes.
How often
An age guide for the household
Children and teens
Ask at a first visit. Dr. Meijer sets the schedule by each child's eyes, and a parent comes to the exam.
Adults
Most adults come every year or two. A household plan assumes one exam in the plan year.
Adults 60 and older
Most come every year, because the risk of eye conditions rises with age.

Exam questions
Exam questions
Do I need an exam if I see fine?
Yes. Many eye conditions cause no symptoms early on, so a yearly or every-other-year exam checks more than your sight.
Will my eyes be dilated?
Sometimes. Dr. Meijer tells you why before he does it, and the drops can make your eyes sensitive to light for a few hours.
Does an exam include a prescription?
Yes. Your prescription is yours. You get a copy after the exam, and you can fill it anywhere.
