• During the checkup, children generally have
  vision screening in classroom or at their eye
  specialists clinic.
• Adults also may have vision screenings during
  checkup. But, most of adults need more than
  screening. They sometime need comprehensive
  dilated eye test.
• Having comprehensive dilated eye test is
  important because few eye diseases may not give
  warning signs. The eye exams are only way to
  predict these disorders in their initial stages,
  when they are easy to treat.

The exam includes several tests

• A visual field test it is used to measure your
  peripheral or side vision. A loss of peripheral
  vision may be a sign of glaucoma.
• A visual acuity test, where you read an eye chart
  about 20 feet away, to check on how well you see
  at various distances
• Tonometry, which measures your eye's interior
  pressure. It helps to detect glaucoma.
• Dilation, which involves getting eye drops that
  dilate (widen) your pupils. This allows more
  light to enter the eye. Special magnifying lens
  are used by your eye care provider to examine
  your eyes.
• This provides a clear view of important tissues
  at the back of your eye, including the retina,
  macula, and optic nerve.

• If you have a refractive error and are going to
  need glasses or contacts, then you will also have
  a refraction test.
• When you have this test, you look through a
  device that has lenses of different strengths to
  help your eye care professional figure out which
  lenses will give you the clearest vision.

• At what age you should start getting these exams
  and how often you need them depends on many
  factors.
• They include your age, race, and overall health.
• For example, if you are African American, you are
  at higher risk of glaucoma and you need to start
  getting the exams earlier. If you have diabetes,
  you should get an exam every year. You can check
  with your health care specialist about it and
