eye exam

Optometrist's chart reading

An eye exam is a professional evaluation of vision and eye health, typically performed by an optometrist or ophthalmologist.

The exam tests visual acuity, checks for conditions like glaucoma or cataracts, and determines whether corrective lenses are needed: I'm overdue for an eye exam.

Also called an eye test or vision test.
