Vision Tests: How To Prepare
Content provided by Healthwise
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 indicate. To help you understand the importance of these tests, fill out the medical test information form (What is a PDF document?) .
