Comprehensive Eye Examination

A complete eye examination includes the measurement of the eyes’ refractive conditions such as hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism, presbyopia and amblyopia. The health of the eyes is also assessed which includes an examination of eye movement, a slit lamp examination, a measurement of the intraocular pressure and a dilated fundus exam.

The dilated fundus examination utilizes eye drops to dilate/enlarge the pupils and allows for a stereo view of the interior eye. We also use ‘Optomap’; a state-of-the-art laser retinal examination which scans the retina 200 degrees. See www.optomap.com for details.

Numerous health tests are performed including those for glaucoma, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, ocular side effects from systemic medications, dry eyes, inflammation and infections of the eye.
