How to prepare for your eye exam

A little preparation helps us give a clearer picture of your vision and overall health. Bring a few key items and a short list of facts so we can use appointment time efficiently.

Bring your current glasses, contact lenses and prescription details

Bring any glasses or lenses you use daily and past prescriptions. This lets us compare changes and confirm the correct prescription for your day-to-day vision.

Prepare a list of medications, vitamins and supplements

Write a full medications list, including vitamins and supplements. Some drugs affect the eyes, so this helps us choose the right tests and protect long-term health.

Note any symptoms or recent changes in daily life

List any symptoms—blur, dryness, glare, flashes, floaters or any vision loss—and note recent changes in screen time, sleep or driving. We use this to target checks that matter most to your routine.

Share relevant medical and family history

Tell us if you have diabetes or long-standing hypertension; both can affect retinal vessels and increase future risk. Also report family history of glaucoma or macular disease so we can monitor earlier when needed.

Quick checklist: glasses, lenses, prescription, full medicines list, written symptoms, key health and family history.

What happens during a comprehensive eye examination with us

During a full assessment we guide you step by step through each test so you know what to expect.

Medical history and targeted questions

We begin with a concise history. We ask targeted questions about blurriness, flashes, floaters and any vision loss.

Visual acuity and pupil checks

We measure visual acuity for distance and near, often with a Snellen-style chart. We also test pupil responses and reflexes.

Movement, pressure and field assessment

Extraocular muscle checks confirm alignment and movement. Intraocular pressure is measured by tonometry; normal ranges are commonly 10–21 mmHg.

Confrontation tests screen peripheral field loss that can signal glaucoma or neurologic issues.

Slit-lamp, fundus and refraction

We examine lids, conjunctiva, tear film, cornea, iris and lens with a slit-lamp. Dilation may be used for a clear view of the retina, macula and optic nerve.

We finish with refraction to prescribe glasses or contact lenses tailored to your daily needs.

Test	Purpose	What to expect
Medical history	Guide test selection	Short questions about health and symptoms
Visual acuity	Measure clarity of sight	Distance and near charts, with and without correction
Tonometry	Assess intraocular pressure	Quick, painless pressure reading (10–21 mmHg typical)
Slit-lamp & fundus	Inspect front and back structures	Close microscope exam; dilation may be used
Refraction	Determine prescription	Lens choices tested to balance clarity and comfort

When to schedule eye care and how often to return

Regular visits tailored to your life in Alcúdia keep small changes from becoming bigger problems. We recommend a simple plan that fits real life and protects long-term sight and overall health.

Routine checks and silent changes

Many conditions show no warning. That is why routine checks catch issues before noticeable symptoms appear.

How needs change by age

For otherwise healthy adults we suggest at least one check in your 20s and more frequent visits in your 30s. As you move through the years, prescription shifts and presbyopia become common.

When to book sooner

Contact us promptly for sudden blur, new flashes or floaters, persistent discomfort, or any marked change in vision. A family history eye risk, especially glaucoma, means earlier and closer monitoring.

Life stage	Typical interval	Why
20s	At least once	Baseline checks and health history update
30s	Twice across decade or annual	Monitor early prescription changes and screen strain
40s and over	Annual	Presbyopia and increased risk of age-related problems
Any age	Sooner if needed	New symptoms, sudden changes, or family history concerns

We set follow-up intervals based on your results, age and personal history rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Eye tests we may recommend based on your health and results

Based on your health and our findings, we may suggest targeted tests to clarify or monitor specific risks. These recommendations come from your history and the examination results, not from upselling.

Glaucoma screening

For suspected glaucoma we track intraocular pressure and assess the optic nerve appearance. We compare pressure readings over time and use imaging where needed to spot early nerve change.

Diabetes-related checks

Long-standing diabetes can affect the retina and increase cataract risk. Regular retinal checks detect diabetic retinopathy early so treatment can protect long-term health.

Medication monitoring

Corticosteroids may raise intraocular pressure, so we monitor users more closely. For hydroxychloroquine, we recommend a baseline eye examination and annual reviews after about five years of use.

Why we order extra tests: clearer answers and earlier detection.
How we decide: personal history, current results and risk factors.
What you gain: timely treatment plans and long-term protection of eye health.

Eye exams for children and families in Alcúdia

We prioritise calm, family-friendly assessments so every child can settle before testing begins.

Early assessment matters because developing vision is time-sensitive. We recommend checks from around six months, or sooner if you have concerns.

When children cannot read letters we use child‑friendly tests. These include matching games, picture charts and preferential-looking methods to estimate visual clarity reliably.

What we look for

We screen for alignment issues that can lead to amblyopia, common refractive errors and rare conditions such as retinoblastoma in younger years.

Treatment for lazy eye works best in early childhood, often before age 7–8 and ideally well before age 12. Timely action preserves long-term eyes function.

If you notice squinting, eye turning, frequent rubbing, headaches or school difficulties, book sooner. We welcome family appointments to make follow-up consistent and practical.

Conclusion

Finish with clarity: book an eye exam with us and leave knowing exactly what your eye examination included and what comes next.

Choose one of two easy booking options: visit us at Dirección: Carrer de Pollèntia, 9, 07400 Alcúdia, Illes Balears or call Teléfono: 971 89 72 14.

Please bring your current glasses and any prescription details so we can turn findings into practical next steps without delay.

We explain your results clearly, confirm whether you need an updated prescription and outline any follow-up care or monitoring.

Note: after dilation some people have temporary near-blur and light sensitivity. Sunglasses help and you may prefer not to drive straight afterwards.

If you have questions, new symptoms or a family risk, call or visit to book now rather than waiting — we are here to help.

FAQ

How do we book an appointment at your Alcúdia clinic?

You can visit us at Carrer de Pollèntia, 9, 07400 Alcúdia, Illes Balears or call 971 89 72 14 to schedule. We also accept online bookings where available; have your personal details and preferred dates ready to speed up the process.

What should we have ready when we contact you?

Please bring current glasses, contact lenses and any existing prescription details. Also prepare a list of medications, vitamins or supplements, and brief notes on symptoms, recent changes in vision or daily life that might affect care.

How should we prepare for our appointment?

Bring your spectacle or contact lens prescription and a list of medicines. Note any family history of glaucoma, macular degeneration or diabetes, and be ready to describe blurriness, flashes, floaters or sudden vision loss.

What questions will you ask about our medical and family history?

We will ask about systemic conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, prior surgeries or treatments, use of medications like corticosteroids or hydroxychloroquine, and any family history of glaucoma or other hereditary vision problems.

What happens during a comprehensive assessment with you?

Our clinicians take a full medical history, check visual acuity for distance and near, assess pupil reactions and eye movements, measure intraocular pressure, and test peripheral vision. We also perform slit-lamp inspection of the cornea, lens and tear film and examine the retina, macula and optic nerve.

Do you test for intraocular pressure and glaucoma risk?

Yes. We measure pressure and assess the optic nerve. If results suggest risk, we recommend further glaucoma screening and visual field testing to detect early peripheral vision loss.

Which diagnostic scans or tests might you recommend after the consultation?

Depending on results, we may recommend optical coherence tomography (OCT) for the retina and optic nerve, fundus photography, visual field assessment, or diabetes-related monitoring to protect long-term vision.

How often should we return for routine checks?

Frequency depends on age, health and risk factors. Many conditions are asymptomatic, so routine checks every one to two years are common for adults, with more frequent reviews for those with diabetes, glaucoma risk or recent changes in vision.

When should we book sooner than a routine check-up?

Contact us promptly for sudden vision loss, new flashes or floaters, significant blurriness, eye pain, redness that won’t settle, or if you have a strong family history of glaucoma or retinal disease.

What do you assess in children and how do you test young children who can’t read letters?

We check vision development, alignment, focusing and refractive errors. For young children we use age-appropriate acuity methods, picture charts and objective retinoscopy to detect amblyopia, strabismus or other issues early.

Do you provide prescriptions for glasses and contact lenses?

Yes. After refraction and assessment, we will issue a prescription for spectacles or contact lenses and discuss suitable lens options, coatings and maintenance to match lifestyle needs.

How do you manage eye problems related to systemic diseases like diabetes?

We perform diabetes-specific checks including retinal assessment and recommend a monitoring schedule. We liaise with your GP or specialist to coordinate care and may suggest more frequent reviews to prevent vision loss.

Are medication-related risks monitored during checks?

Absolutely. Patients on long-term corticosteroids or hydroxychloroquine need tailored monitoring. We take a medication history and recommend appropriate tests to detect potential side effects early.

What information will we receive after our visit?

We provide clear results, any recommended follow-up tests, and a written or electronic prescription when required. We also give guidance on symptoms that should prompt an earlier return.
