Tests and Procedures

Eye exam

Results

Results from an eye exam include:

  • Whether you need vision correction, either through glasses, contact lenses or surgery
  • Whether your eyes are healthy, or you have cataracts, glaucoma or retinal disorders, such as macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy

If you need corrective lenses, your doctor will give you a prescription. If your eye exam yields other abnormal results, your doctor will discuss with you the next steps for further testing or for treating an underlying condition.
