Diagnosis

Nearsightedness Diagnosis

How is nearsightedness diagnosed?

A routine eye exam can show whether you are nearsighted. The eye exam includes questions about your eyesight and a physical exam of your eyes. Ophthalmoscopy, slit lamp exams, and other tests that check vision and eye health are also part of a routine eye exam.

Eye exams should be done for new babies and at all well-child visits. Nearsightedness is usually first discovered in children of grade-school age.
