Detailed Eye Examination: A detailed eye exam typically involves a series of tests and procedures to evaluate the health and function of your eyes. This includes testing your vision, checking for any abnormalities or signs of disease, and assessing how your eyes work together. The specific tests and procedures used during a detailed eye exam can vary depending on the individual’s needs and concerns, as well as our doctor’s suggestions. Some common tests and procedures that may be included in a detailed eye exam include:
Visual Acuity Test: A visual acuity test is a common procedure used to measure how well a person can see at different distances. This test is typically performed using a Snellen chart, which has a series of letters, numbers, or symbols of different sizes. This test is an important part of a comprehensive eye exam, as it can help identify vision problems and determine the need for glasses or other vision correction. It is typically performed at the beginning of an eye exam at Dayal Eye Centre, and the results are used to guide the rest of the exam.
Refraction Assessment: A refraction assessment is a procedure to determine a person’s eyeglass or contact lens prescription involving a device called a phoropter to measure the amount of correction (in diopters) needed for the person’s eyes. It helps identify vision problems and determine the appropriate correction needed to improve a person’s vision. In Dayal Eye Centre, it is typically performed after the visual acuity test to guide the rest of the exam.
Slit-lamp Examination: A slit-lamp examination is a procedure used to examine the front of the eye, including the eyelids, cornea, iris, and lens. This test involves a specialized microscope to identify a wide range of eye conditions, including infections, inflammation, and abnormalities of the cornea, iris, and lens. It is typically performed after the visual acuity and refraction assessment tests, and the results are used to guide the rest of the exam.At Dayal Eye Centre, the doctor shows and explains the picture of your eye obtained during slit lamp examination on a screen,which makes it easy for you to understand your eye problem better.
Dilated Eye Examination: A dilated eye exam examines the inside of the eye, including the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels. This test involves the usage of eye drops to dilate (widen) the pupils. It causes the eyes to become temporarily sensitive to light and allows the doctor to see more of the inside of the eye and detect any abnormalities or signs of disease. It is typically performed after the visual acuity, refraction assessment, and sometimes after slit-lamp examination test, and the results are used to guide the rest of the exam.
Glaucoma Screening: A glaucoma screening checks the signs of glaucoma, a group of eye diseases that can damage the optic nerve and lead to vision loss, involving measuring the pressure inside the eye. Tonometer is a device that measures the pressure inside the eye and is done in several ways, including the non-contact method or the contact method. The glaucoma screening identifies people at risk for glaucoma and allows for early treatment to prevent vision loss.
Visual Field Test: A visual field test is a common procedure used to check for any blind spots or other areas of vision loss. It is performed using a specialized machine to measure the extent of a person’s peripheral (side) vision and identify the vision problems and determine the need for further evaluation or treatment.
Retinal Examination: A retinal examination is a common procedure used to examine the back of the eye, including the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels. This test is typically performed using an ophthalmoscope to magnify and illuminate the inner eye structure. Our ophthalmologist examines the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels, looking for any abnormalities or signs of disease. The retinal examination identifies a wide range of eye conditions, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration,diabetic retinopathy.
