A Closer Look at Our 15-Step Eye Exam

Medical History Log

A detailed record of the patient's health background, which helps identify potential eye-related risks or underlying conditions that may impact treatment decisions and eye health.

Evaluation of Present Glass Prescription

Assesses the current eyeglass prescription to ensure it’s accurate and suitable for the patient’s vision needs, ensuring optimal vision correction.

Visual Acuity Assessment

Measures the sharpness of vision using an eye chart, providing a baseline to detect vision problems like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.

Refractive Error Checkup

Checks for errors in how light is focused in the eye, such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism, identifying the need for corrective lenses or surgery to improve vision.

Non-Contact Tonometer

Measures intraocular pressure (IOP) without touching the eye, essential for detecting glaucoma, a condition that can lead to blindness if left untreated.

Subjective Refraction

Allows the patient to adjust lenses to identify the most comfortable prescription for clear vision, ensuring personalized correction for optimal visual comfort.

Jackson’s Cross Cylinder

Uses a special lens to refine the prescription for astigmatism, providing precise measurements that help improve clarity and focus.

Duochrome Test

Uses red and green filters to help fine-tune the prescription for nearsightedness and farsightedness, ensuring optimal clarity in various lighting conditions.

Binocular Balancing

Evaluates how well both eyes work together to provide clear, single vision, ensuring proper eye coordination and alignment, which prevents eye strain and discomfort.

Near Vision Test

Measures the ability to focus on close objects, helping identify presbyopia or difficulty focusing on near items, a common condition with aging.

NPC & Cover Test

Tests the eyes’ ability to focus on close objects and checks for misalignment, detecting any eye muscle issues or alignment problems that could affect vision and comfort

Colour Vision Check

Assesses the ability to perceive colors and detect color blindness, helping identify deficiencies that could affect daily tasks and safety.

Dry Eye Test

Evaluates the production and quality of tears to detect dry eye syndrome, a condition that can cause discomfort and potential long-term damage if untreated.

Amsler’s Grid Test

Helps detect macular degeneration by having the patient focus on a grid of squares, identifying early signs of this leading cause of vision loss in older adults.

Slit Lamp Examination

A thorough examination of the eye's structures using a microscope and bright light, checking for eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, or infections.
