What is Eye Test?
An eye exam involves a series of tests to evaluate your vision and check for eye diseases.
Your eye doctor is likely to use various instruments, shine bright lights at your eyes, and request that you look through an array of lenses.
Each test during an eye exam evaluates a different aspect of your vision or eye health.
