Typically an optometrist will take special photos of your eye to view the back of it and the inside of it allowing them to see if there are any severe medical or clogged blood vessels. Next they will test your vision by having you read a chart. Then if they deterime you need correction you will be asked to read close-up and far-away with different level of corrections on your eyes.
This exam is not a pass or fail exam. A contact lens exam is just your optometrist measuring your eye and how far you can see with contacts. That is when the left eye and right eye measurements come in. Usually the optometrist gives you a trial pair to make sure there is no irritation and no damages to the inner eye before prescribing contacts (usually a week)
You can find out your eye prescription by scheduling an eye exam with an optometrist or ophthalmologist. During the exam, they will perform tests to determine your prescription for glasses or contact lenses. Additionally, your current glasses may have your prescription printed on them.
