What to Expect

Preparing for your Eye Exam
An eye exam at Specs Appeal in Decatur is a simple but important step in taking care of your vision and overall eye health. Our comprehensive eye exams go beyond just reading an eye chart—they include a thorough assessment of eye disease, general eye health, and a detailed look at the retina. This helps us catch potential issues early and ensure your vision is in its best shape.

What to Bring
To help us provide the best care, try to gather as much as you can about your family’s medical history. Many eye conditions are hereditary, so knowing this information helps us assess your risk for genetic or inherited eye problems. It’s also helpful to think about your specific vision needs. If you experience eye fatigue from computer use or have other concerns, try to measure the distance from your eyes to your computer screen before your appointment. This will help us address your concerns more effectively.

Previous Eyewear
If you’re new to our office, please bring in any contact lenses or eyeglasses you currently wear, as well as a copy of your previous prescription if you have one. This allows us to compare your current and past prescriptions to ensure everything is on track. And if you’re on any medications, be sure to let us know, as they can affect your eye health.

How long will it take?
Exams typically take about an hour, as we perform a variety of tests and review digital images of your eyes. We want to make sure we leave no stone unturned to provide you with the best care possible. Remember, you only get one set of eyes, so choosing an office that goes beyond the basics to fully assess your eye health is essential. We're here to make sure your vision stays clear and healthy for years to come.
