What is a Routine Eye Exam?
A routine eye exam, as the name says, is the procedure of getting your 
eyes  checked by professionals on a regular basis to make sure that your 
eyes are  healthy.
Your eyes will be examined for common eye disorders, your eye 
coordination  will be evaluated, and your overall health will be assessed 
based on any  symptoms that arise from problems within or close to your 
eyes.
During the course of your eye exam, your optometrist will perform a variety 
of  tests to look for any potential illnesses rather than just calculating the  
prescription for your eyeglasses or contact lenses.
