Vision Screenings vs. Comprehensive Eye Exams Hero

Vision Screenings vs. Comprehensive Eye Exams

Book Appointment

Having your eyes checked on a regular basis is one of the best things you can do to safeguard your vision. There are two commonly used methods for doing so: comprehensive eye exams and vision screenings. Park Slope Eye, your trusted provider of quality eyeglasses and other eye care services, explains their scope and differences.

Vision Screenings vs. Comprehensive Eye Exams

Vision Screenings

A vision screening program intends to establish whether you’re at risk of having certain eyesight problems. It’s often included as part of children’s school requirements. It involves a brief and general evaluation of your eyes, looking for signs of changes or irregularities. If we find any warning signs, we may recommend that you undergo a comprehensive eye exam for a more in-depth visual assessment. Vision screenings can be performed by a nurse, general practitioner or even a volunteer.

Comprehensive Eye Exams

A comprehensive eye exam involves a careful and thorough evaluation of the different aspects of your visual health. We will assess your eye structures and their respective functions. The main objective is to identify eye conditions and render necessary treatment as soon as possible. If the test results reveal a problem with your tears, for example, we’ll recommend an appropriate dry eye treatment plan to enhance your visual comfort.

Comprehensive eye exams can only be performed by an optometrist or ophthalmologist. These professionals have undergone many years of study and training, enabling them to make an accurate diagnosis. You can expect a comprehensive eye exam to take more time than a vision screening.

Your pediatric eye doctor explains that both eye tests are important in maintaining your visual health. They help in the early detection of vision problems, paving the way for prompt management.
