What to Expect: Our Comprehensive Eye Exam, Step by Step

At iDoctor, an eye exam is more than just reading letters off a chart. Every visit is a personalized, full-scope assessment led by Dr. Saher Sayed—blending advanced equipment and deep experience to give you a clear understanding of your current vision and long-term health.

• Visual Acuity Testing: We check your uncorrected and best-corrected vision (distance and near). This helps spot subtle changes that could affect driving or screen use.
• Prescription (Refraction) Assessment: Using digital phoropters, we identify your precise glasses or contact lens prescription—accurately and comfortably.
• Eye Pressure (Tonometry): Our gentle iCare tonometer screens for glaucoma and lets us monitor pressure changes quietly and painlessly. This is especially vital for patients with a diabetes or family history of glaucoma.
• Pupil and External Structures Exam: Inspection of eyelids, lashes, cornea, and lens. We look for dryness, allergies, infections, or signs of cataract development.
• Retinal and Internal Health Evaluation: Our widefield Daytona Optomap imaging captures a 200° view of the retina in about half a second, often without dilation. Retinal photographs help spot diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration, and subtle changes from high blood pressure early—before symptoms start.
• Binocular Vision and Eye Teaming: Assessing how your eyes work together to reduce eye strain, headaches, or double vision—especially for students and professionals.
• Review of Ocular and Medical History: We always review any medications, chronic conditions, or previous eye surgeries. Transparent conversation helps us tailor your care plan.

What to Bring: Your Eye Exam Checklist for iDoctor

• Current Eyeglasses or Contacts: If you wear them, bring all pairs—even if the prescription feels wrong. This helps us see changes and spot issues with lens wear or fit (for more about prescription reading, see our guide to reading your eye prescription).
• Vision Insurance Card: Most plans renew yearly and may cover exams, lenses, frames, contact lens fitting, or medical visits.
• Photo ID: A driver’s license or state ID is needed for new patient check-in.
• Comprehensive List of Medications: Include both prescription and over-the-counter meds. Bring eye drops, if used. Systemic medications can impact eye health.
• Prescription Eye Drops: Bring active bottles for reference and review.
• Completed Paperwork (if applicable): For pediatric or school eye exams, download and complete the Illinois Eye Examination Report before your visit if possible.

By arriving a few minutes early with these items, we help your exam go smoothly and maximize your time with Dr. Sayed.
