Read what "brucie" had to say.  It's perfect. Although, I will apologize for him since anyone who is not in the field probably won't have a full understanding of what he's talking about, but he nailed it none-the-less, even if you have to use a dictionary!  I'll just help a little, so your high school classmates won't get bored...\n\nA comprehensive eye exam has many steps.\n1. Unaided and aided visual acuities (how well you can see with and without glasses or contacts)\n2. detailed case history including detailed health history and list of medications. (any problems? how long?...)\n3. Objective measurements of the refractive state of the eye and corneal curvature readings. (usually done by automatic machines that take measurements and can accurately estimate your refractive power (your glasses prescription).  the curvature readings are also done with a machine and is the main test for contact lens wearers to make sure they fit right, also looks for abnormal surfaces)\n4.Gross observation of muscle deviations and movement. (checking motility by making you move your eyes in certain ways, left, up and left, down, etc, to make sure youre muscles work together and correctly)\n5. Confrontation fields (checks for possible blind spots or a decrease in your field of vision, as a screening, the most used method is finger counting in peripheral areas of vision and recording any section missed)\n7. Bio-microscopic examination of the anterior portion of the eye. (looking through the microscope at the front portion of your eye including your cornea and lens)\n8. Subjective refractive status ( better 1 or 2) distance and near (the machine that houses all the lenses is called a phoropter, this is how you get a glasses prescription, all those lenses have different powers, and whichever you like best becomes your prescription)\n9. Pressure readings for Glaucoma (some doctors use the "puff of air test" which measures the resistance of your eye to the air and records it with a number. Most use a blue light that attaches to the biomicroscope and actually touches your eye (after they numb it with a drop)and measures the resistance and gives you the number on a dial. Mostly it checks for glaucoma, but other eye conditions can change eye pressure too, that's why it is monitored)\n10. dilation of the pupils (everyone's favorite drops that make the black part of your eye open so the doctor can see into the back of your eye and can last anywhere from 4-24 hours depending on age and strength of drop used, usually 4-6 hrs to get back to normal for your age.)\n11. internal examination for health evaluations (the doctor can look all around in your eye checking for diseases, tears, holes or spots. Most eye diseases can be caught in the early stages with regular dilated eye exams.)\n\nAccording to the National Institute for the Prevention of Blindness, 80% of all blindness can be prevented with a yearly eye exam.\n\nGlaucoma (a disease of the optic nerve) goes unnoticed until you've lost 40% of your peripheral vision.  That's crazy! If glaucoma is detected early enough, you can prevent ANY vision loss.\n\nSorry I wrote a whole book, but I remember high school, and I figured I'd help you out.
