eye examination

Optometrist's routine check

An eye examination is a series of tests performed by an optometrist or ophthalmologist to assess vision and check for eye diseases.

The exam typically includes reading letters from a chart, testing peripheral vision, and examining the internal structures of the eye.

Regular eye examinations can detect conditions like glaucoma before symptoms appear: I'm due for my annual eye examination.
