Eye Exams in Cypress & Surrounding Areas

Regular eye exams are very important because Dr. Vinh Le, your eye doctor in Cypress, Texas, has been trained to recognize certain eye or health problems before you notice any visual symptoms. Eye exams enable the eye doctor to diagnose visual problems (also called refractive errors) and to identify, treat and monitor eye conditions (and diseases). Refractive errors include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism and/or presbyopia that can be corrected with eyeglasses, contacts or vision correction surgery (LASIK). A comprehensive eye exam will likely include: a review of your personal/eye history; evaluation of your eyesight using an eye chart; evaluation of your eyes’ ability to work together; examination of the interior of your eye, and an eye pressure test.

As long as you are not experiencing problems and your eye doctor has not recommended that you come more often, an eye exam should occur every two years for adults 18-60, and annually for those 61 and older or those wearing eyeglasses or contacts. For children birth to 24 months, the exam should occur at six months of age; from 2 to 5 years at age 3, and from 6 to 18, before first grade and every two years thereafter. And if wearing eyeglasses or contacts, annually. In Cypress, Texas, when your eye doctor writes a visual or contact lens prescription, this is valid for one year. An eye exam is not the same as a contact lens exam although certain tests may be similar.
