5 Tips for Getting the Best Eye Exam from Our Optometrists
Are you one of those people who finds a visit to the doctor intimidating and have had a few bad experiences with, for example, the dentist? Very typical.
You don't have to worry! With this guide we want to show you that visiting the optometrist is not yet considered a risky sport and there is no reason to be tense. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your next eye exam and, why not, even enjoy it.
Visit your ophthalmologist or our opticians in person
In recent years , virtual eye exams have appeared online. Although these “virtual exams” increase ease and accessibility, when you go to have your eyesight checked we recommend that you leave laziness aside and go to the optician. The most reliable and safe way for your health is to receive the exam in person, even if this means leaving home.
The most accurate results for your vision prescription can only be collected, manipulated, and adjusted by your ophthalmologist or optometrist. Optometry is a balance between art and science, and involves adjusting and manipulating every human sensitivity and difference based on how your vision correction will work in the real world.

Ask about test mounts
When you get your eyes checked, be sure to ask for trial glasses. Not all professionals use them. It's an extra step that takes a little time, but it can avoid unnecessary trips to the optician and simplify the process of producing your lenses.
What are trial frames?
These are frames in which trial lenses are placed, which allow you to perceive with greater precision than with other procedures how you will see with your new lenses before they are made. Keep in mind that this is especially important if you have never worn glasses, have a sudden change in your prescription or are going to use progressive lenses for the first time.
