What Does a Comprehensive Eye Exam Include?

As part of a thorough eye examination, you will get a full analysis of your vision and eye health. Our examination is thorough but effective and covers all aspects of your eyesight:

• Health History Review
  We start with a review of your vision issues, medical background, and symptoms. Knowing your history helps in customizing the examination to suit your specific needs.
• Visual Acuity & Prescription Screening
  With eye charts and advanced lens tests (refraction), we establish how well you can see at different distances and establish your exact prescription for glasses or contact lenses. This gives you the best possible vision.
• Eye Health Testing
  Our optometrist examines your eyes' external and internal features. Using a microscope (slit lamp), we examine the front of the eye (cornea, lens, etc.) for issues such as dry eye or cataracts. We also examine the back of your eye, including the retina, macula, and optic nerve, to look for signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy.
• Glaucoma Screening
  A simple, painless test of intraocular pressure (e.g., a soft cotton-tipped puff of air or a sophisticated machine called a tonometer) is done to screen for glaucoma. Taking intraocular pressure readings enables the early detection of this vision-robbing disease, before vision loss occurs.
• Binocular Vision & Eye Muscle Test
  We examine how effectively your eyes cooperate. Depth perception, eye muscle movement, and peripheral (side) vision tests ensure that your entire visual system is functioning properly.

Your eye exam can reveal signs of over 270 serious health conditions to your optometrist, including the early warning signs of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and glaucoma, as well as other diseases that affect the body.

Advanced Diagnostic Technology & Unique Features

Our clinic utilizes state-of-the-art technology that increases the accuracy of our examinations and works in your favor as the patient:

• Digital Retinal Imaging
  We employ high-resolution retinal imaging to take detailed photographs of the interior of your eyes. The technology enables us to identify and track problems in the retina and optic nerve with extreme accuracy. In most instances, it can replace or diminish the need for dilating eye drops by providing a broad view of the retina within seconds.
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
  (Where applicable) Our OCT scanner provides us with cross-sectional views of the retina, similar to an MRI for the eye. Early detection of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinal changes is facilitated by this, as it shows microscopic features under the retinal surface.
• Visual Field Testing
  On patients who require it, we conduct computerized visual field testing to detect blind spots or loss of peripheral vision. This is useful for diagnosing conditions such as glaucoma or neurological disorders.
• Contact Lens Fitting Technology
  If contact lenses interest you, we employ specialized devices to measure the shape and surface of your eyes. A good contact lens fit is important for comfort and eye health. We offer contact lens fitting as an added service, ensuring you discover lenses that suit your eyes and lifestyle.
