What OUR Comprehensive Eye Examination includes
We begin your examination by finding what specific problems you are having so that we can best address them. In addition, we will be doing testing that might discover problems that you might not be aware of.
- History: this includes what problems you are having, medications, prior treatment, family history, etc.
- Autolensometry: automated electronic instruments to find out what the power is in your eyeglasses.
- AutoRefractor and AutoKeratometer: a special computer that helps identify the starting point in finding your precise eyeglass prescription and the shape of your cornea.
- Color Vision testing
- Depth Perception testing
- Distance and Near Acuity: how well you can identify individual letters
- Accommodation: how your focusing mechanism works.
- Visual Field Testing: a highly sophisticated instrument to test how you see peripherally (to your sides).
- Optomap: a photograph of the back of your eye.
In the examination room we do:
- Further extensive history.
- Digital Refraction to arrive at your prescise prescription, but also to measure how your two eyes function together as a team, both at distance and at near.
- Examination of the outer parts of your eye.
- Ophthalmoscopy: Examination of the retina and internal parts of the eye
- Slit Lamp Evaluation; a special microscope that enables us to to see and measure the cornea, iris, and all of the structures of the eye under high magnification. When need, we can take a picture with the camera that is part of this instrument to document using External Ocular Photography.
- Tonometry; commonly known as the glaucoma test. We treat many patients for glaucoma and use precise measures for eye pressure.
- other special tests that are necessary in order to obtain all necessary information.
