If it’s been a while since your last eye exam—or you’ve never had one—there’s no better time to prioritize your vision health. At Eye Pros Ogden, we provide comprehensive vision services that go far beyond a basic vision test. Whether you’re experiencing blurry vision, dealing with eye fatigue, or just due for a check-up, our experienced eye doctors are here to guide you through a full-scope exam that puts your long-term eye health first.
Residents in Ogden and nearby Riverdale trust Eye Pros for personalized care, advanced diagnostics, and clear answers about their eyesight. In this guide, we’ll walk you through what to expect during your visit—from routine screenings to early detection of eye diseases—so you can walk in confidently and leave with a better understanding of your vision.
What Makes a Vision Exam “Comprehensive”?
A comprehensive eye exam isn’t just about updating your glasses or contact lens prescription—it’s a complete assessment of your visual performance and overall eye health. Unlike a quick vision screening at school or a driver’s license renewal, a full exam with a qualified eye doctor can detect signs of eye disease long before symptoms show up.
At Eye Pros Ogden, our vision services are designed to evaluate the entire visual system. That means checking how well you see, how your eyes work together, and whether there are any early signs of issues like glaucoma, cataracts, or diabetic retinopathy. Early detection is key, and a comprehensive exam is your first line of defense.
A comprehensive exam includes:
- Visual acuity tests (near and distance)
- Refraction testing to determine your prescription
- Eye pressure measurement (for glaucoma risk)
- Pupil and eye muscle function testing
- Retinal examination to evaluate internal eye health
- Discussion of symptoms and lifestyle factors
It’s more than a vision check—it’s a full-scale look at your eye health and how it connects to your overall wellness.
What to Expect During Your Eye Exam at Eye Pros Ogden
At Eye Pros Ogden, we aim to make your eye exam experience thorough, informative, and stress-free. Whether it’s your first time or a routine annual visit, our experienced eye doctors will walk you through every step so you know exactly what’s happening—and why it matters for your eye health.
Comprehensive eye exam may include:
Medical and Vision History Review
We begin by asking about your health history, current medications, any vision changes, and family history of eye conditions. This helps your eye doctor understand your risks and personalize your care.
Visual Acuity Testing
You’ll read from a standard eye chart to check how clearly you see at various distances. This helps us assess if you need corrective lenses or if your current prescription is still accurate.
Refraction Test
Using a phoropter, we determine your exact lens prescription for glasses or contacts. This test is key for correcting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Eye Pressure Measurement
Also known as tonometry, this quick, non-invasive test measures the pressure inside your eyes—an important step in detecting glaucoma early.
Retinal Exam and Internal Eye Health Check
We examine the back of your eyes (retina, blood vessels, and optic nerve) using tools like ophthalmoscopy or digital retinal imaging. This can help detect signs of eye diseases and systemic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
Contact Lens Fitting (if needed)
If you wear or are interested in contact lenses, your exam will include additional measurements for a proper fit. We’ll also provide guidance on care and lens types based on your lifestyle.
Consultation and Recommendations
Your eye doctor will explain the results, answer questions, and offer tailored recommendations—whether it’s updating your eyewear, treating dry eye, or scheduling a follow-up.
This full-circle approach ensures your eyes aren’t just seeing well—they’re healthy, too.

FAQs
What’s the difference between a vision screening and a comprehensive eye exam?
A vision screening is a quick check to see if you might need glasses, often done at schools or health fairs. A comprehensive eye exam, like the one you’ll get at Eye Pros Ogden, is a detailed evaluation of your visual acuity, eye health, and risk for conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, or diabetic retinopathy. It’s a deeper dive into your overall eye wellness—not just how well you can read an eye chart.
How long does an eye exam take?
A full exam typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on whether you need additional testing or contact lens fittings. Our eye doctors take the time to explain everything and ensure you feel comfortable throughout the visit.
Do I need an exam if I don’t wear glasses?
Yes! Even if your vision seems fine, a yearly exam is important. Many eye conditions, such as glaucoma or macular degeneration, develop without early symptoms. Routine exams at Eye Pros Ogden help detect issues before they become serious.
Can I get contacts and glasses in one appointment?
Absolutely. During your comprehensive exam, we can evaluate your eyes for both glasses and contact lenses. If you’re a good candidate for contacts, we’ll perform a contact lens fitting and discuss the best lens types for your lifestyle and prescription.
Do you accept insurance at Eye Pros Ogden?
Yes, we work with many major vision and medical insurance plans. If you’re unsure whether your coverage is accepted, give our Ogden office a call or check with your provider before your visit.
What should I bring to my first eye exam?
Please bring your insurance card, photo ID, current glasses or contact lenses, a list of medications, and any questions you have for your eye doctor. If you’re new to Eye Pros, arriving 10 minutes early helps make your check-in smooth and easy.
