The Importance of Eye Screenings
Regular eye screenings are vital for preserving your vision and overall eye health. These screenings help identify potential eye conditions or diseases that may not present noticeable symptoms in their early stages.
By detecting these issues early, we can:
– intervene promptly
– implement appropriate treatment plans
– prevent further deterioration.
Eye screenings also allow us to monitor existing conditions and make necessary adjustments to your vision correction prescriptions.
Key Steps in Eye Screenings
- During an eye screening, our skilled ophthalmologists employ a comprehensive approach to evaluate your visual health. The process typically includes:
- Visual Acuity Test: This test measures your ability to see clearly at various distances, identifying any refractive errors such as nearsightedness or farsightedness.
- Intraocular Pressure Measurement: Elevated intraocular pressure can indicate glaucoma, a condition that can lead to vision loss if left untreated. We use a painless tonometry test to measure this pressure.
- Dilated Eye Examination: By administering special eye drops, we dilate your pupils to gain a better view of the internal structures of your eyes. This allows us to examine the retina, optic nerve, blood vessels, and other important components.
- Additional Tests: Depending on your individual needs, we may conduct further tests, such as visual field testing, corneal topography, or optical coherence tomography (OCT), to assess specific aspects of your eye health."
