What is a Comprehensive Eye Test?
A comprehensive eye test goes beyond just checking your visual acuity or whether you need glasses. It involves a series of assessments that evaluate the overall health of your eyes and detect any underlying conditions early on. The goal is to provide a complete picture of your eye health, ensuring that any potential issues are addressed promptly.
What you can expect when you book an Eye Test with optometrists at the EyeMakers
Visual Acuity Test: This is the most familiar part of the eye exam, where you read letters from an eye chart. It measures how well you can see at various distances and helps determine if you need corrective lenses.
Refraction Assessment: A refraction assessment helps to identify your exact prescription for glasses or contact lenses. This process involves using a phoropter to determine which lenses provide the clearest vision.
Pupil Response Examination : Optometrists at the Eyemakers will check how your pupils react to light. This test can indicate neurological issues or problems with the optic nerve.
Eye Pressure Measurement (Tonometry): High eye pressure can be a sign of glaucoma, a serious eye condition. Tonometry measures the pressure inside your eye, allowing for early detection and management.
Retinal Exam (Fundoscopy) :
A thorough examination of the retina is essential for diagnosing various eye diseases, including diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.
