An eye examination is carried out by an optometrist and usually takes about 20-30 minutes. Sometimes it can take longer if you need extra tests, but this is to make sure you can see as well as possible.

A claiming race in thoroughbred horse racing is one in which the horses are all for sale for more or less the same price (the "claiming price") up until shortly before the race.

Dilating eye drops used for examination of the eyes usually last from 4 to 24 hours, depending upon the strength of the drop and upon the individual patient. Pupil dilation tends to last longer in people with lighter colored eyes (irides), and occasionally a child's eyes may stay dilated for longer than 24 hours.

Most people do feel comfortable to drive after their pupils have been dilated. However, if you have never had your pupils dilated before (and therefore don't know if you will feel safe or not), we recommend that you bring a driver or arrange for someone to pick you up after your exam.

Generally, the cost of an eye exam can range from about $50 (usually at a retail store or optical chain, performed by an optometrist) to $250 or more (usually at a clinic or private eye specialists office).
