WHAT HAPPENS DURING AN EYE EXAMINATION?
Visual acuity test:
We let you read letters/numbers on a chart to determine your visual acuity without spectacles and we determine where and how we can improve your vision.
Eye muscle control:
Eye muscle control and flexibility are measured to make sure your binocular vision function is sufficient.
Retinoscopy:
The optometrist gets an objective measurement of your prescription.
Refraction and balancing of two eyes:
The goal of the subjective refraction is to achieve clear and comfortable binocular vision.
Slit-lamp examination:
Look at the external health of the eye.
Ophthalmoscopy:
Look at the internal health of the eye.
Colour-blindness:
Our color blindness test helps you test grey, blue, red-green, and blue-green color blindness.
Visual field test:
Visual field testing is one way we measure how much vision you have in either eye.
Glaucoma test (intraocular pressure):
Your ophthalmologist uses eye drops to numb your eye, then touches your cornea with a special lens.
Other tests if needed:
