Can I wear glasses during a visual examination?

Generally, frame glasses cannot be worn during visual examinations, but some special examination items may require wearing them. Vision examination usually requires separate testing of naked or corrected vision, depending on the purpose of the examination.

Routine vision tests, such as naked eye vision testing, require the complete removal of glasses to ensure that the test results reflect the true visual condition. The standard logarithmic vision chart or projector is commonly used in physical examination centers for testing, and wearing frame glasses at this time can cause data distortion. Some physical examination items may require testing of naked eye vision before measuring corrected vision, and doctors may decide whether further optometry is needed based on preliminary results. For patients with refractive errors, it may be necessary to wear specialized corrective lenses when examining the fundus or intraocular pressure, but regular frame glasses are still not suitable.

In special circumstances such as wearing corneal reshaping lenses, it is necessary to inform the doctor in advance and follow the doctor's advice for treatment. Partial occupational or driver's license examinations may allow the wearing of daily use frame glasses, but must comply with the specific regulations of the examination item. When glaucoma or cataract patients undergo visual field examination, doctors may require the replacement of a specific degree of test film to complete the test. Before the physical examination, it is necessary to consult the requirements of the examination items in advance, and myopic patients can bring an optometry sheet as a backup. During the examination, cooperate with the doctor's instructions to promptly remove and wear glasses to avoid affecting the accuracy of the results due to lens reflection or inaccurate degree. Daily attention to eye hygiene and regular optometry to adjust lens prescription can help maintain visual health.
