DETAILED VISION TESTOur optometrist starts by measuring your current vision and any glasses you may have. We take an initial digital measurement of your eyes, then check your focusing both far away and close up. We assess how well your eyes work together and test your colour vision. These tests determine whether you need corrective lenses, or a prescription update, so you can see your very best. |
EXTERNAL EYE ASSESSMENTNext, we check the front segment of your eyes. This involves checking for cataracts, dry eye and the health of your cornea - especially important for contact lenses wearers. We also gently measure your eye pressures, without needing numbing eye drops. Potential contact lens wearers will have the surface of their eye precisely imaged with an instrument called a corneal topographer. |
INTERNAL EYE ASSESSMENTChecking the inside of your eyes is vital to maintain good eye health. We will examine your retina, optic nerve and macula, looking for any signs of abnormality or disease. Digital retinal imaging is included for all our patients to monitor for subtle changes over time. In some cases dilating eye drops may be used to enlarge your pupils, to look even further into your eyes. |
