What is a comprehensive eye exam at North York Eye Clinic?
A comprehensive eye exam performed by a doctor of optometry is an important part of preventive health care. It can be likened to an annual physical exam for the eye because it looks at the entire eye and visual system. Comprehensive eye exams can detect eye diseases and disorders such as glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachments and macular degeneration, as well as other systemic health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
A comprehensive adult eye examination may include:
- A case history, as well as a detailed family history.
- An analysis of the patient’s visual needs at home, work, school and play.
- Measurement of the visual acuity of each eye.
- Diagnosis of the refractive status or prescription
- Binocular vision assessment
- Colour vision evaluation.
- Assessment of the health of the eye itself both inside and outside using a biomicroscope and a dilated eye examination when indicated.
- A neurological assessment of the visual system
- Screening for glaucoma, including testing pressure inside the eye, looking inside the eye at the retina and optic nerve.
- Additional testing may be needed based on the results. These can include, but are not limited to tests such as retinal photography, gonioscopy, corneal pachymetry, optic nerve or macular scans and automated visual field testing.
- All of the test results are used in the final analysis to determine the appropriate prescription lenses to treat refractive and visual problems, or to recommend medical or surgical treatment.
- Recommendations for future eye care will be made.
- The final analysis of the eye exam includes a Doctor of Optometry’s professional knowledge, experience and judgment.
