Eye Exam Vision Hearing Appointments

Eye exams, vision tests, and hearing appointments check how well you see and hear, and screen for conditions that affect these senses. You might visit an optometrist or ophthalmologist for your eyes, or an audiologist for your hearing. These appointments range from routine checkups to tests that diagnose specific problems like refractive errors, cataracts, glaucoma, or hearing loss.

The articles here explain what happens during each type of appointment, what the different tests measure, how to prepare, and what your results mean. You'll learn about common procedures like visual acuity tests and tonometry, what questions to ask your provider, and when you might need follow-up care or referrals to a specialist.
