What to Expect at Your Eye Exam
An Elevated Eye Care Experience
More than a prescription check
At Eycon, an eye exam is designed to do more than update your glasses or contact lens prescription. It is a complete look at your vision and eye health, focused on protecting your sight and supporting long-term eye health.
A closer look at your eye health
Using advanced diagnostic imaging and testing, we can evaluate your eyes in greater detail, detect changes earlier, and better understand your eye health over time.
Designed around you
Your doctor will explain what they are seeing, what it means, and walk you through the treatment options that best fit your needs. If you are updating your glasses or contact lenses, you will also have time to review what will work best for your vision and lifestyle with our team.
Eycon Wellness Screening
Eycon Wellness Screening goes beyond a standard eye exam to give you a more complete picture of your eye health. By combining advanced retinal imaging, OCT, and virtual visual field testing, we can detect subtle changes earlier and monitor for concerns such as glaucoma, retinal disease, and diabetic eye conditions.

Earlier Detection
Catch silent changes sooner and monitor concerns more closely over time.
Care Guided by Detail
More information to guide care based on what your eyes truly need.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect during a comprehensive eye exam?
A comprehensive eye exam at Eycon is designed to evaluate more than just your prescription. Your visit includes a review of your overall eye health, and any concerns or symptoms you may be experiencing. Your doctor will explain what they are seeing, answer your questions, and provide recommendations tailored to your eyes, lifestyle, and long-term needs.
How long does an eye exam take?
Most routine eye exams take about 30 minutes. We recommend planning for 30-60 minutes to allow extra time to review glasses or contact lens needs with our team afterward. If dilation or additional testing is needed, your visit may take longer.
Can I update my glasses or contact lens prescription during the same visit?
Yes. Many patients use the same visit to update their glasses prescription and review contact lens prescriptions or fittings as needed. However, insurance plans often do not cover both services in full during the same visit, and additional fees may apply depending on your benefits and lens needs.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Please bring your current glasses, contact lenses or prescription information, insurance card, and any vision concerns or symptoms you would like to discuss.
Does Eycon accept insurance for eye exams?
We work with many major vision and medical insurance plans and are happy to help verify your benefits before your visit.
What is the Eycon Wellness Screening?
Eycon Wellness Screening is an optional part of your exam that helps give you a more complete picture of your eye health. It combines advanced retinal imaging, OCT, and visual field testing to capture detailed images of the retina, assess the optic nerve, and evaluate peripheral vision. This helps us catch subtle changes earlier, monitor for silent eye conditions, and give your doctor more information to guide your care.
How often should I get an eye exam?
For many adults, a comprehensive eye exam every year is a good way to monitor vision and eye health. Some patients may need to be seen more often depending on age, medical history, diabetes, contact lens wear, or specific eye concerns.
