In children, it helps to determine a more accurate prescription that is not masked by their accommodation system. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ocular history\/ Family history. <\/strong>Having a history of eye diseases can predict your risk for developing certain conditions. Genetics plays a role in many ocular diseases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Overall health. <\/strong>Diabetes, high blood pressure, and other systemic conditions increase the likelihood of developing eye problems. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Presenting symptoms.<\/strong> Symptoms that draw patients into the exam room may warrant a dilated exam.
