Eye Exams

  • The optometrist assesses the patient's visual acuity by having them read an eye chart, typically from a distance of 20 feet. This test determines how well the patient can see at different distances.

  • Using a phoropter or trial frame, the optometrist performs subjective refraction to determine the patient's refractive error. They use different lenses to find the most accurate prescription for the patient's corrective lenses.

  • This evaluation checks how well the patient's eyes work together as a team. It includes tests for eye alignment, eye movements, and depth perception.

  • The optometrist examines the patient's eye movements to ensure they have full control and coordination of their eye muscles.

  • The optometrist assesses the patient's pupils for size, shape, and response to light. This examination can help identify any abnormalities or signs of underlying eye conditions.

  • Using a specialized microscope called a slit lamp, the optometrist examines the structures of the anterior portion of the eye, including the cornea, iris, and lens. This evaluation helps detect conditions such as cataracts, corneal abnormalities, and signs of inflammation.

  • The optometrist measures the pressure inside the eye using tonometry. Elevated intraocular pressure may be an indicator of glaucoma.

  • The optometrist examines the back of the eye, including the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels, using a combination of methods such as direct or indirect ophthalmoscopy, or using specialized instruments like a retinal camera. This assessment helps detect conditions such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or retinal tears.

  • Involves assessing the clarity of the eye's lens to detect the presence of a cataract. This examination typically includes a thorough evaluation of visual acuity, a slit lamp examination to examine the lens, and other tests to determine the extent and impact of the cataract on vision.

  • Evaluate the patient's symptoms, examining the tear film quality, assessing corneal and conjunctival health, and measuring tear production and stability. These tests help determine the severity and underlying causes of dry eye syndrome to develop an appropriate treatment plan.
