What Your Eye Exam Includes

Comprehensive Eye Exam

We provide comprehensive eye exams focused on evaluating vision and overall eye health. Using advanced technology, our eye doctor can detect visual signs and changes during your annual exam, supporting proactive eye care and long-term vision wellness.

Our comprehensive eye exam includes Optomap® retinal imaging, a quick and comfortable scan that provides a wide view of the retina. This imaging allows our eye doctor to review retinal and optic nerve health and identify signs associated with conditions such as macular degeneration, as well as retinal changes that may be associated with systemic health conditions including diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. When appropriate, patients are referred to specialists for additional testing or care.

What We Measure

How Your Prescription Is Determined

Every comprehensive eye exam at Fox Run Eye Care in Greenland, NH includes a refraction — the part of the exam that tells us how your eyes focus light.

Part of every exam is measuring how your eyes focus light. This is how we identify refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism, and how your prescription is determined. On that prescription, the sphere value corrects myopia or hyperopia, while the cylinder value corrects astigmatism.

These conditions can occur together — myopia with astigmatism, or hyperopia with astigmatism — which is why a prescription often includes more than one value. Our doctors explain what each number on your prescription means and what it corrects.

Reading your prescription

  • Sphere (SPH) — corrects myopia (a minus value) or hyperopia (a plus value)
  • Cylinder (CYL) + Axis — correct astigmatism; a cylinder value is not a second form of myopia

Refractive error

Myopia (nearsightedness)

Distant objects look blurry while near vision is usually clearer. It most often develops in childhood and can progress through the school years, though adults have it too. For children, we offer options to slow myopia progression.

Refractive error

Hyperopia (farsightedness)

The eye focuses light behind the retina. Depending on the degree and your age, focusing takes more effort, most often at near.

Refractive error

Astigmatism

The cornea, or less often the lens, has an uneven curvature, so light focuses in more than one direction. Vision can be blurred or distorted at all distances.
