At North Texas Ophthalmology Associates, we provide comprehensive eye exams in Wichita Falls focused on both your vision and overall eye health. Whether you are experiencing changes in your eyesight or maintaining routine care, our exams are designed to detect concerns early and provide clear, personalized recommendations.
Our physicians use advanced diagnostic technology to evaluate your eyes for conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other medical concerns that can affect long-term vision.
What to Expect During an Eye Exam
A comprehensive eye exam includes more than just a vision test. Our team evaluates both how well you see and the overall health of your eyes.
During your visit, your exam may include:
Vision testing to assess clarity at different distances
A refraction to determine your prescription
Evaluation of eye health and internal structures
Screening for conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration
Each exam is tailored to your individual needs and medical history.
What Is a Refraction Eye Exam?
A refraction is a key part of a comprehensive eye exam that determines your exact prescription for glasses or contact lenses. During this portion of the exam, we measure how light enters your eye to identify refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
If you’ve ever been asked, “Which is better, 1 or 2?”—that is part of the refraction process.
At North Texas Ophthalmology Associates, refraction is just one component of a full medical eye exam designed to evaluate both your vision and overall eye health.
When Should You Schedule an Eye Exam?
You should consider scheduling an eye exam if you:
Notice changes in vision
Experience eye strain or headaches
Have difficulty reading or seeing at night
Have a history of eye conditions
Have not had a recent eye exam
Routine exams are also important for detecting eye conditions early, even if you are not currently experiencing symptoms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a vision exam and a medical eye exam?
A vision exam focuses on determining your prescription for glasses or contact lenses. A medical eye exam evaluates the overall health of your eyes and screens for conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and other eye diseases.
Is a refraction included in every eye exam?
A refraction is often part of a comprehensive exam but may be billed separately depending on insurance coverage. This test determines your prescription for corrective lenses.
How long does a comprehensive eye exam take?
Most eye exams take between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of your condition and any additional testing that may be needed.
How often should I have an eye exam?
For most adults, an eye exam every 1–2 years is recommended. Patients with existing eye conditions or risk factors may need more frequent evaluations.
