The Importance of a Comprehensive Eye Exam

Understanding Eye Exams

One of the most common misconceptions that people have about eye exams is that they are the same as vision tests, which are sometimes called visual acuity tests or a vision screening. A vision screening involves reading a Snellen chart. You have probably had a vision screening when you were updating your prescription or even renewing your driver’s license.
