An eye examination is a thorough assessment of an individual's eyes and vision. It may include tests for visual acuity, color vision, depth perception, and eye pressure. The optometrist or ophthalmologist uses various instruments to examine the health of the eyes, including the cornea, pupils, retina, and optic nerve. Early detection and treatment of eye conditions can prevent vision loss and other complications.

A comprehensive eye exam includes vision testing, eye function tests, and a review of your medical history. It helps detect eye diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration.
Belgium's universal healthcare system covers basic eye exams for children under 18 and seniors over 65. Adults may need to pay out-of-pocket or have private insurance.
