How To Prepare
No special preparation is required
before having vision tests. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring them
with you to the examination since the tests cannot be properly performed
without them. If you have a copy of your current eyeglass prescription, bring
it with you.
Many medicines may affect the results of vision
tests. Be sure to tell your health professional about all the over-the-counter
and prescription medicines you take.
Talk to your health
professional about any concerns you have regarding the need for vision tests,
how they will be done, or what the results will mean. To help you understand
the importance of these tests, fill out the
medical test information form
(What is a document?).
