How to use this list
Begin by gathering your teen’s vision insurance card and your own photo ID. Print or save the eye exam appointment confirmation. Pack your teen’s current eyeglasses and their case. If they use contact lenses, include a lens case. Bring any sports goggles or protective eyewear they use in practice or games. If the team or school requires a vision form, add it to your folder. Write down any notes about trouble tracking balls or seeing signs, and note if your teen struggles with glare during outdoor practice.
