At Bill Evans Optometrists, we pride ourselves in the care we take during an eye examination. Every eye test is different in that your optometrist will tailor the consultation to your specific needs. An examination begins with a case history, in which we ascertain what areas of your vision could be improved, with special relevance to your visual tasks, work and hobbies. We ask relevant questions about your general health, your history of glasses, contact lenses, as well as any eye injuries, infections or surgery you may have had.
Your optometrist will then see how your vision is and ask you to read from a chart. Next we usually find out what your prescription is using a eye tests are bulk-billed to Medicare with no out-of-pocket expenses, the exception of this is some contact lens related consultations. Ask us for more details.
We recommend that you have an eye test every two years. If, however, you have an existing eye condition, you will need more frequent exams. Just check with Bill during your next visit.
