Thorough Professional Examination

A certified ophthalmic technician will perform initial screening and the first part of your exam.  Our physicians will then complete your exam and review the diagnosis and treatment with you.  

   
Your eye pressure is measured to test for glaucoma.
   
A refraction is performed to determine how well you can see.
   
Pupil dilation is performed for a thorough retinal examination.
   
Your retina is then fully inspected for detachments, tumors, degeneration and other medical disorders.
   
Retinal photography is performed when needed.
   
Your blood pressure may be checked. Some of the earliest signs of hypertension can occur in the eye.
   
Your cornea is examined through a biomicroscope and measured with a computerized keratometer.
   
Astigmatism tests are performed, evaluating reading (near), middle, and distance vision.
   
Eye muscle balance is measured as this can cause headaches, lower depth perception, poor reading skills and eyestrain.
   
Optical accommodation is tested. This is your ability to focus from distance to near and vice versa.
   
Visual acuities are measured.
   
Thorough cataract inspection is performed.
   
A personal consultation with the doctor, and proper referral is given for medical disorders that are diagnosed.
   
Your prescription is determined with the most advanced equipment available.
