Your eye health is important. Through an eye exam, our trained optometry team can check your vision and detect potential eye problems before you even notice symptoms. This service takes approximately one hour, and uses state-of-the-art equipment to examine the tiny structures in your eyes to not only check your vision, but also diagnose eye disease.

This service is tailored to your individual needs, however the optometrist will typically assess the following:
 

• Eye tests to determine your refractive error and prescription. Instruments such as an autorefractor or retinoscope may also be used.

• Cover tests that check how well your eyes work together.

• Eye movement testing (ocular motility), to assess how well your eyes follow a moving object.

• Slit-lamp examinations that give your optometrist a magnified view of the structures in your eyes in order to determine their health.

• Ophthalmoscopy which allows the optometrist to evaluate the back of the eye and detect ocular disease. Early signs of certain systemic diseases (e.g.diabetes and high blood pressure) may be seen on the retina before they are diagnosed medically.

• Sometimes your optometrist may decide to take a ‘base line’ photograph of the back of your eye, using a fundus camera.

• Eye pressure or “air puff” tests that check for glaucoma.
