Cheating on your eye exam not only hurts you but is a serious offense and can have serious consequences both in terms of your own vision as well as legally. It is essential to understand the risks involved and the methods that some use to cheat, in order to avoid harming yourself and possibly others.

First of all, it’s important to understand what the eye exam is. The eye exam is not a test in school. Instead, it is designed to help your eye care provider, who is trying to help you, be certain that your eyes and visual system are working optimally to your advantage.

Now, it’s true that sometimes the eye exam is used as a test, for example, to get a driver’s license, but even then the intent is to keep you, as well as everyone else on the road, safe. Cheating on any eye exam is never a good thing and only leads to trouble in the future. In this document, we’ll review the top four ways people cheat on the exam, not as a way to teach you how to cheat but instead as a way to help you avoid having an invalid exam.
