After you meet the eye doctor, the first thing they will do is check your eyes. They will have you look straight ahead at the image without blinking so they can have a good look at your eyes.

Now, the eye doctor will test your vision distance. They will cover one eye at a time and ask you to read letters or numbers off of the wall a distance away. After each eye is tested, they will ask you to read it with both eyes open.
