Refraction test

Alternative names:

eye test - refraction

What the risks are:

There are no risks.

Special considerations:

A complete eye examination should be done every 3 to 5 years if there are no problems. If vision becomes blurry, worsens, or if there are other noticeable changes, an eye examination should be scheduled immediately. After 40 years old (or for people with a family history of glaucoma), eye examinations should be scheduled more frequently to test for glaucoma.

People with refraction problems should have an eye examination every 2 to 3 years.
