Comprehensive Eye Examination
A complete eye exam involves a series of tests designed to evaluate your vision and check for eye diseases. Our doctors use state of the art diagnostic instruments, aim bright lights directly at your eyes and request that you look through a seemingly endless array of lenses. Each test while at your eye exam evaluates different aspects of your vision and overall ocular health.
At your eye exam:
Your doctor will most likely dilate your pupils to examine your retina and ocular nerve. You will be given protective shades before you leave but, it is always a good idea to have transportation from the clinic.
Your exam may include:
Complete History
It is important to know systemic and previous ocular disease or trauma as indication of either current or future eye disease. We will also ask about the eye health of your family members
Eye Health Evaluation
External examination of the eye includes evaluation of the cornea, eyelids, conjunctiva and surrounding eye tissue.
Evaluation with a slit lamp of the lens, retina and posterior section of the eye may be done through a dilated pupil.
FDT - Frequency Doubling Technology
A test to determine the accuracy of your field of vision.
Visual Acuity
Both computerized and doctor assisted. You will be asked to read letters at a distance and near to determine you best visual acuity. Your vision will also be tested with and without the correction of glasses.
Keratometry
This test is the assessment of the curvature of the cornea. This measurement is critical for the accurate fitting of contact lenses.
