The Difference Between a Vision Screening and a Complete Eye Exam?

Vision screenings are general eye tests that are meant to help identify people who are at risk for vision problems. These are the brief vision tests performed by the school nurse, the pediatrician or screeners in the workplace.
The eye test that you take when you get your driver's license renewed is another example of a vision screening.
Comprehensive eye examination is performed by an eye doctor and will involve careful testing of all aspects of your vision. Based upon the results of your exam, the eye doctor will then recommend a treatment plan for your individual needs. Remember, only an eye doctor can provide a comprehensive eye exam - most family physicians and pediatricians are not fully trained to do this, and studies have shown that they can miss important vision problems that require treatment.
