Vision express now uses the term "eye exam" instead of "eye
examination"...which is correct?  I still use eye test.

Eye Test - where it's actually your vision they're testing

Eye Exam - where they also examine your visual equipment for signs of
disease

So I'd say the new term is more appropriate.
