Comprehensive Eye Examination – What To Expect

A complete eye examination includes the measurement of the eyes’ refractive conditions such as hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism and presbyopia. This is followed by a binocular vision assessment which determines how your two eyes work together. These measurements along with a discussion of your daily visual demands will help our doctors determine the personalized correction and lens style which will provide you with clear and comfortable vision.  The health of the eyes are are also assessed. This includes an examination of the front of the eyes using a microscope called a slit lamp. The internal structures of the eyes are examined by a dilated fundus exam.

The dilated fundus examination utilizes eye drops to dilate/enlarge the pupils and allows for a stereo or 3D view of the interior eye. We also use ‘Optomap’, a state-of-the-art laser retinal examination technology, which scans 200 degrees of the retina. See Optomap Retinal Imaging for more details.
