Eye Glass Prescriptions in The Woodlands & Willowbrook, TX

Upon completion of a comprehensive eye examination , you may require a prescription for corrective lenses.

At Superior Eye Care we use traditional optometry and state-of-the art technology to properly diagnose and determine your Rx (prescription). This may also include prescription eye drops, medication and more if you suffer from other ocular issues.

As per the Optometric Board of Texas, your corrective lens prescriptions will last for one year from the date of your examination. After the one year, a new comprehensive eye exam is required.

Eye Exams at Superior Eye Care

An eye examination is a series of tests conducted by an eye doctor at Superior Eye Care to assess your vision and check if you have any eye-related diseases. These tests can range from vision tests and eye muscle tests to color vision testing and retinal examination. Whether or not you've been experiencing any changes in your vision, you need to get an eye exam every once in a while so that your doctor can give you tips on how to optimize your vision and eye care.

Today we're talking all about eye exams, how often you should have these, which specialist you should go to, and from where you can get your eye exam today if you live in Texas.

Eye Exam

When Should You Have Your Eyes Examined?

Several factors can influence how often you need your eyes to be examined, such as your age, your eye health history, and the current status of your vision.

  • For Children

    Children typically should be tested for their eye health first when they are six months old, then when they turn three, and finally before they start school. If their eyesight proves to be normal, they should have checkups every two years until they turn eighteen. However, if they have any eye-related problems, they might need more regular checkups throughout the years.  At our clinic, we start seeing children starting from ages 5 and up.

  • For Adults

    Adults as well should get checkups every two years to ensure that their eyes are in good health. If any adult has a history of eye disease, has diabetes, or is on medication, they might need to get more regular eye exams. Senior citizens, however, should get them on an annual basis.

Opticians

Opticians are generally not considered eye doctors since they're only responsible for providing and adjusting your glasses and helping you apply, remove, and look after your contact lenses.

They are not qualified to assess your eye health in detail.

Optometrists

These doctors are responsible for diagnosing your vision and eye-related problems. They treat these conditions by prescribing medicines such as eye drops along with glasses, contacts, or vision therapy.

They can provide comprehensive eye examinations but may not be qualified enough to perform eye surgeries. For this purpose, they might recommend you to an ophthalmologist.
