One of the most effective ways to preserve vision is through a comprehensive eye exam. Statistics show that over 50% of vision loss can be prevented, highlighting the importance of regular eye exams. At Dr. Rigney Eye Care and Eyewear in Owasso, we specialize in providing comprehensive eye care exams tailored to each patient's medical history. Patients with previously diagnosed eye problems are eligible for a full vision exam. On average, an exam takes between 30 and 90 minutes. 

The frequency of eye exams also varies depending on the patient's age. Patients aged 40 and younger should have a comprehensive eye exam every two years, while those aged 40 and older should have their eyes checked every 2-4 years. If you work in a high-stress environment with an increased risk of vision loss, more frequent visits to the optometrist may be necessary.

Additional Tests

In certain cases, an optometrist may choose to include additional tests as part of a comprehensive eye exam. These tests may include:

• Eye movements: A doctor will assess your eye coordination and movement to ensure that your eyes are working together as they should.
• Color blindness test: This quick and non-invasive test helps identify color vision problems, allowing optometrists worldwide to diagnose such issues.
• Visual acuity test: This test evaluates how well you can see the details of letters or symbols from a specific distance.
• Ocular motility test: The purpose of this test is to measure how quickly your eyes can track a moving object.
• Stereopsis test: This test determines whether you have binocular vision and is particularly important in comprehensive eye exams for children.
• Glaucoma test: If glaucoma is suspected, an optometrist may perform a glaucoma test. Optical Coherence Tomography is often used in this test to evaluate damage caused by glaucoma.
• Refraction test: Optometrists use this test to determine the need for glasses or prescription lenses to improve visual function.
