How long does a full eye exam take?
A comprehensive adult eye exam at Purview Eye Care typically takes about 30 minutes. Depending on the specific tests performed, it may extend to 45–50 minutes.
If a dilated exam or additional testing such as OCT imaging is required, extra time may be needed for the eye drops to take effect, with patient comfort and testing accuracy as top priorities.
Every full exam includes:
- A detailed check-in and pre-test (assessing eye pressure, estimated prescription, corneal thickness, and curvature)
- A full vision and eye health evaluation
- A discussion of glasses or contact lens options
- Dilation recommendations, typically every second visit depending on health history
If you plan to choose glasses afterward, our optical team will assist you with frame selection—either immediately or at your convenience. No appointment is required to return for eyewear shopping.
