Most patients schedule an appointment because they have noticed a change, or because it has been a few years since their last visit. Either reason is entirely appropriate and in both cases, the examination you receive will be equally thorough and comprehensive.
The appointment has two halves. First your vision, measured at distance and up close, and your prescription checked against it. Then the health of the eye itself, front and back.
At Remy, comprehensive exams will run for 45 minutes.
