Refraction (vision) testing. If objects near or far look blurry, you may have a refractive error — light isn’t bending properly as it passes through the lens of your eye. A refraction test diagnoses hyperopia (farsightedness), myopia (nearsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia. A machine measures the light reflected by your retina, then the doctor uses a phoropter to test one eye at a time and determine the prescription needed for 20/20 vision.
Adults under 60 should have a yearly exam; children yearly starting at age 3; and patients with diabetes or glaucoma more frequently. Refraction tests are a necessary part of an eye exam but are not covered by Medicare and some private insurance.
