Your Examination:
We strive to provide a full, comprehensive eye examination. Each examination includes
a measurement of:
*Visual Acuity (how well you currently see)
*Cover Test (how well your eyes align)
*Visual Field (peripheral vision)
*Color Vision
*Stereopsis (depth perception)
*Intraocular Pressure
*Refraction (measuring your prescription)
*External Eye Health
*Internal Eye Health
Additional Testing:
Sometimes, further testing is needed beyond a routine eye examination. We strive to keep up-to-date with the latest technology, and offer several additional tests that may be administered, if needed. These include:
*Optomap® Retinal Imaging System - The Optomap® is a wide-field retinal camera that offers us an excellent view without needing to dilate the eyes. In most cases, this is acceptable as an alternative to dilation.
*GDx Scanning Laser Polarimeter - Detailed Optic Nerve Head analysis for patients who are suspected of having glaucoma
*Visual Field - New technology Visual Field test, which evaluates peripheral and central vision
*Corneal Pachymeter - evaluates the thickness of the cornea, which can be helpful in diagnosing glaucoma.
