Vision screenings
A vision screening may begin with an eye exam, where your specialist looks at your eyes using a light to screen for signs of injury or disease.
During a vision test, you’ll read letters and numbers from a chart on a wall. You’ll cover your left eye and read the letters, cover your right eye and read the letters, and uncover both eyes to read the objects on the board.
You might also complete color vision testing or additional eye tests.
Audio screenings
A hearing screening is also a simple test. You may wear headphones and listen for a beeping sound. You’ll raise your hand each time you hear the beep, allowing your Tacoma Urgent Care and Wellness Center provider to evaluate how well you can hear.
They may use a specialized light to look inside your ears to screen for infections, fluid buildup, injuries, or similar concerns.
What happens after vision and audio screenings?
After your vision and audio screenings are complete, the Tacoma Urgent Care and Wellness Center team discusses the results. They may recommend further diagnostic testing by another specialist, who may recommend:
- Hearing aids
- Vision correction
- Medications
- Surgery
If you need a vision or hearing test for your job, school, or disability benefits, your specialist fills out any required paperwork. You might require vision and hearing tests once yearly or less often. This will depend on the results of your tests, your age, and whether you receive treatment.
